About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who offers virtual therapy across Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on building a trusting relationship first.
Leah uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. She blends those with cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical skills when helpful. Sessions aim to identify patterns, name emotions, and try new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Background and approach
Leah draws on six years of clinical experience in community mental health and school settings. That background includes individual therapy, family work, and case management. Her experience informs practical steps for coping with grief, parenting strain, sleeping or eating concerns, chronic illness, and career stress.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration. Clients create goals together and choose techniques that fit their lives. Leah prioritizes being heard and respected during hard conversations and moments of change.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy days. Sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on therapist availability.

Online support
Emotion and attachment work through online therapy
Leah integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered approaches. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with core emotions to change the way people relate to themselves and others; it can help with relationship distress, intimacy concerns, and persistent emotional patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand how they shape reactions and connection needs; this is useful for attachment issues, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and the client’s own expertise in their life, creating space for self-exploration and goal-setting.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leah works collaboratively to assess what fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She brings emotional work and practical skills together and adapts methods as goals evolve during therapy.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for deeper emotional work and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging allow short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
