About Leah
Leah Faurbo helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She introduces a calm, straightforward style meant to help people find manageable steps forward. Leah is a California psychologist with 12 years of professional experience, and she speaks English for all sessions.
Leah focuses on practical ways to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.
How Leah works
Conversations are direct but warm, with attention to what is most pressing right now. Her practice also pays attention to related concerns such as abandonment worries, chronic pain or illness, divorce and separation, questions about life purpose, mood and personality disorders, self-harm, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues.
She helps people break these larger problems into manageable pieces and build steady routines that support change. Leah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to teach skills people can use between meetings, and to track small improvements over time.
She encourages realistic expectations and steady progress rather than quick fixes. People begin by describing what matters most to them and what they’d like to change. Leah works collaboratively to find the right pace and tools.
The result is a practical plan for coping, symptom relief, and clearer next steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Leah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes teaching coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood. These techniques help people practice new responses to stress and build steadier daily routines.Another approach centers on understanding and shifting unhelpful patterns of thinking and feeling. It involves noticing thought patterns that keep problems stuck and testing small changes to see what works. This helps with self-esteem, anger, depression, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leah will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She explains options plainly and invites feedback so therapy fits the person’s needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send quick notes, share thoughts between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options offer flexibility so people can access care from different locations and at different times.
