About Leah
Leah Faurbo is a California psychologist with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes. Leah offers straightforward, practical support for those who want better control of their reactions and clearer thinking about next steps.
She hears what makes temper flare up and what keeps frustration building. In sessions she talks through triggers, patterns of thinking, and concrete ways to respond differently in heated moments. Leah also works with issues that often sit alongside anger, such as mood concerns, relationship endings, chronic illness, and feelings of abandonment.
Her approach is evidence-based and focused on skills people can use day to day. Sessions move between talking through experiences and practicing new behaviors that reduce reactivity. Leah helps people develop clearer boundaries and steadier responses to stressful situations.
Leah emphasizes planning and small, measurable steps. That can mean short coping strategies for difficult moments, longer-term behavior changes, or reframing recurring thoughts that fuel resentment. She also addresses self-esteem and motivation when those affect how someone manages anger.
People work with Leah to gain more control over how they respond to stress and to rebuild confidence after conflicts. Her work is practical, direct, and aimed at improving daily functioning rather than offering quick fixes.
Approaches used and working online
Leah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building coping skills. Cognitive-based methods involve identifying thought patterns that escalate anger and practicing alternatives to reduce reactivity. Behavioral strategies focus on concrete actions - such as breathing exercises, pacing exposure to stressful situations, and practicing new responses - that lower emotional intensity.Finding the right fit is part of the work. Leah collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try based on their goals, daily life, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so the approach stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments, or caregiving, and can allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Therapists can also use remote sessions to practice real-time coping skills in the settings where difficulties arise. Confirm format details when you schedule so the session structure matches your needs.
