About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She provides virtual therapy to adolescents and adults across the state. Her caseload includes anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and grief.
Leah uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes her clients' strengths and life knowledge. She combines several methods to match each person's needs. She names Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and existential ideas among what informs her work.
In sessions she works collaboratively to set goals and then tackles them in practical steps. Conversations may look at patterns in relationships, how emotions show up, and skills for regulating strong feelings. She also applies problem-solving strategies for sleep, eating, career strain, and coping with chronic illness or medical challenges.
Her background includes work in community mental health agencies and school settings. That experience involved individual therapy, family work, and case management. She draws on that variety when planning supports and next steps with clients.
Leah asks clients to be part of deciding what helps. She describes therapy as a place to reflect on meaning, name painful feelings, and try different ways of responding. Sessions are offered in English to people located in Florida and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Leah blends EFT and practical skills online
Leah draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with powerful emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. EFT focuses on emotions and attachment needs, and is often used when feelings are hard to name or relational patterns feel stuck.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence current reactions and relationship expectations. That work helps identify recurring interaction cycles and explore how to form more secure connections. Leah incorporates Client-Centered Therapy ideas by putting the client's experience and priorities at the center of each session, allowing the pace and goals to be guided by the person seeking help.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Leah works collaboratively to choose what methods make sense based on a client's concerns, goals, and preferences. She reviews options together and adjusts the plan as things change.
Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography specifies virtual work across Florida but does not list every format. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter or longer check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people meet from different rooms in their own lives, which can help keep therapy manageable alongside work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
