More about Leah

6 years' experience
Female
LMHC

My name is Leah Farah and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering virtual therapy sessions all across the state of Florida. I work with adolescents and adults from all walks of life. I am experienced with treating a variety of life concerns including self-esteem issues, anxiety, family concerns, relationship issues, trauma, and depression.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, strength based, and trauma informed. I use an integrative approach that is tailored based off of the needs of my clients and what may work for them. My therapy style draws from Existential, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Midfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. My experience is varied across settings, as I have provided individual and family therapy as well as case management services in community mental health agencies and school settings.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. I believe that therapy is a tool for self-exploration and finding the meaning behind events in your life. I use a collaborative approach to developing goals and tackling issues. Although addressing goals set-forth in therapy is important, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest indicator of success in a therapeutic setting. I would like for my clients to always feel like they are being heard and that they are my priority while we are working together.

It takes courage to be vulnerable in a therapeutic setting. I aim to work with all of my clients with the upmost respect as I honor the position that I am placed in, in being trusted to develop a therapeutic relationship and working together towards a more fulfilling and happier life. I am here to support and empower you!

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Clients mention: Great Amazing Helpful Recommend Understanding Grateful Comfortable Listens Supportive Genuine

She is absolutely amazing, understanding, and helpful in my everyday life!!

While all the therapists I've met with through Betterhelp have been beneficial, I am beyond grateful to have found and connected with Leah. She's helped me determine unhealthy thought patterns and provided me with proper tools to positively impact my relationship with myself and others. I leave each session feeling better and more prepared to move through conflicts. Leah is smart, kind, and a professional through and through.

She's been amazing and so helpful.

She is amazing

Leah is AMAZING! Not only is she incredibly kind and respectful, but she also has great insight surrounding different issues. She listens to everything I have to say and gives genuine feedback on what she hears. She is great at pointing out what we can work on to improve my situation and helps me get into a better headspace. I think Leah is a GREAT therapist and a great person, and I would recommend her to anyone!

Leah’s super great! she’s an amazing listener and really understanding about all of my issues. She’s super supportive and i always feel super comfortable messaging her and and during our sessions.

Leah is very open - minded and welcoming. She has a considerable bulk of experience behind her, but is also willing to stretch a bit for an individual's more particular set of issues. I specifically have considerable problems with sexual addiction that I need to work on, and while Leah is more of an intimate relationship counselor, she was more than happy to bend a bit and attempt to translate her skills in this area into some helpful cognitive therapy for me. Leah is fair, honest, an active listener, and offers solid advice and suggestions. Highly recommended!

I love working with Leah! She listens to and says what I need to hear; I also love that she doesn’t sugar coat things! 10/10 would recommend!!

This is the first time I feel that I’m being heard and understood fully. I just started my journey with Leah, but I have a great feeling she will be my person. Thank you!

Leah is amazing! She is a great listener, very understanding, she makes me feel comfortable to speak about anything, and gives very helpful advice and coping skills! I am so grateful to be working with her and I am excited to continue working with her! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Leah has been such a great help because she genuinely listen and doesn’t tell you what to do but helps you resolve the issue with her help which I like a lot and help me tremendously. I would recommend her to anyone who is really ready to open up and make a positive change.
