About Farah
Farah Southwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life changes. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to create a calm, straightforward space for people to talk about what matters most to them.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and choose values-based actions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and client-centered methods add practical tools for handling symptoms and building self-awareness. Sessions focus on clear goals. Conversations are direct but warm.
Clients work on skills for coping with grief, trauma, addiction, parenting strain, body image, and communication problems. The therapist helps people build realistic plans for change and small habits that make daily life easier. Farah pays attention to cultural background and individual context.
She listens for patterns such as abandonment fears, dissociation, or chronic illness impacts, and helps people sort out how those patterns affect relationships and self-worth. The approach combines listening with practical exercises to try between sessions. People can expect a steady, respectful guide who balances emotional work with everyday problem solving.
The focus is on what the person wants to change and on steps that fit their life situation.

Online support
Emotion and Skill Work Online
Farah uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change patterns in close relationships and in their emotional responses. EFT focuses on emotions and connection, and can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, attachment wounds, or repeated conflict.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based actions even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors that reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method might fit the concern at hand. Clients and the therapist choose techniques and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan stays practical and tailored.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work when video is not convenient or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules.
