About Farah
Farah Southwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. She also works with people facing addictions, eating issues, bipolar and ADHD challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and anger.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding small, usable steps to feel better.
Background and approach
She blends Systemic therapy ideas with acceptance-based and cognitive tools to address patterns in relationships and daily life. Farah places value on hearing each person's background and cultural story. She listens for how family dynamics, work stresses, and past hurts shape current feelings.
That information guides clear goals and the techniques she offers in sessions. Over her career she has worked across a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and difficulties with commitment or control. She also supports people navigating separation, forgiveness, abandonment, dissociation, and communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Farah uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Systemic therapy to fit each person’s needs.

Online support
How approaches shape online work
Systemic therapy looks at the relationships and patterns that affect how people feel and act. Online sessions can use that perspective to notice recurring interaction styles and try different ways of responding in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then focus on values-based action to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and builds new habits through practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaboration may mean combining techniques from more than one approach and checking in regularly to see what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be helpful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life and keep therapeutic progress moving forward.
