Farah Saeed, LMHC

Farah Saeed is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Farah also supports clients who are coping with life changes and challenges with concentration and focus, including ADHD.

Her approach is direct and respectful. Farah listens first, then tailors conversations and strategies to each person’s situation. She emphasizes clear goals and practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Farah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on client-centered techniques to keep sessions collaborative and focused on the client’s priorities. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used where they fit the client’s needs.

Sessions often focus on building small, manageable skills. That can mean short behavioral experiments, refining routines for better focus, or practicing emotion regulation tools. Farah aims to break down challenges into concrete actions so progress feels achievable.

She is attentive to multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Farah also addresses issues common to young adults and women, and she works with people navigating co-occurring conditions. Conversations are paced to match the client’s comfort and readiness.

Farah works in English and offers several remote session formats. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment to set goals and a plan.

How Farah’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy

Farah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical for stress, anxiety, focus problems, and building routines that improve day-to-day functioning. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client’s priorities and to create a collaborative space for setting goals.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness are added when emotion regulation or distress tolerance needs attention. DBT skills are useful for managing strong emotions and impulsivity, while mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and bodily signals without getting overwhelmed. The therapist will discuss which approaches fit best and adjust the plan together based on your goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for deeper conversational work and skill coaching, phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can support brief check-ins or ongoing practice between sessions. These formats let clients fit therapy into work, school, or busy home schedules while keeping focus on the same therapeutic goals as in-person work.
