About Susan
Susan Haynes-Carabello is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with more than 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.
She creates a validating, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about upsetting thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize partnership and collaboration so people can set goals that matter to them. The aim is to identify beliefs and habits that hold someone back and to try new ways of responding to daily challenges.
Susan draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside tools from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people build skills for everyday life. These approaches are used in service of clear goals like reducing panic, improving mood, or finding stronger self-worth.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and many hours of post-graduate study in areas such as trauma, neuropsychology, meditation, and self-regulation. The combination of experience and varied methods informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s situation.
People seeking help for issues such as isolation, caregiver stress, aging concerns, life purpose, or trauma-related symptoms can expect a mix of practical tools and supportive listening. The work moves at a pace the client chooses and focuses on small, actionable changes that add up over time.
Approach-focused online therapy and collaborative care
Many clients find Client-Centered Therapy helpful because it emphasizes empathy, listening, and meeting people where they are; this approach supports emotional safety and builds trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers straightforward tools for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift important emotional responses, often improving how they relate to strong feelings and difficult memories.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapy process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not specify exact session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or support work that relies more on talking and skills practice rather than paperwork. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools to work in a remote setting while focusing on what the client needs to manage stress, process trauma, and build lasting coping skills.
