About Leah
Leah Faurbo is a California psychologist with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges of life changes. Her work includes support for social anxiety and phobia and concerns such as abandonment, chronic illness or pain, and relationship separation.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and clear steps people can use between sessions. Leah listens for the situations that make someone feel most stuck, then helps break those moments into manageable pieces. Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and act on rather than leave them vague or overwhelming.
Leah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to fit each person's needs. She talks through practical strategies for mood, motivation, and handling stressful events. The work often includes small experiments to try outside of sessions and review together at the next meeting.
Her approach is collaborative. She checks in about what is and isn't working and adjusts the plan as needed. People can expect direct, simple explanations of options and a focus on skills they can use in daily life.
Leah practices in California as CA Psychologist 31728. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, people are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling details so they know how to proceed.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Leah works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach is cognitive methods that help identify unhelpful thoughts and test them in real situations, which can reduce anxious reactions and improve decision making. Another common set of strategies targets behavior - planning and practicing small steps toward feared situations to build confidence and reduce avoidance over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She checks what helps and adapts the plan as needed, so treatment evolves from session to session rather than being fixed at the start.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow someone to check in between obligations. It also allows therapists and clients to use video or phone to focus on skill practice and planning in real time, and to review progress without requiring an in-person visit.
