About Haiam
Haiam Aboelella, LCSW, focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life changes. She works with clients facing trauma, addiction, attention challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel do-able and understood.
She believes the person in the room knows their story best. Sessions start by listening and identifying small, practical goals. Haiam uses clear, action-oriented tools to help people manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Her style blends several well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy guides people to act in line with their values while accepting difficult feelings. Haiam draws on five years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She has worked with people living with mood and personality concerns, substance issues, and grief.
That background informs practical strategies for daily life and crisis moments. Sessions can include short-term coaching, coping skills, and longer-term work on relationship and identity concerns. She frames therapy as a collaboration and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs.
The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and better day-to-day functioning. Haiam sees clients in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready and to start with a simple matching questionnaire to find the right fit.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match their values even when emotions are intense. It can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching acceptance skills and value-driven behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective choices; it is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which is helpful for impulsivity and overwhelming anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and work collaboratively to find what fits. Some people use short-term CBT techniques, while others blend ACT or DBT skills into longer-term change.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face from a distance. Phone sessions can be a good fit when internet quality varies or a camera is not convenient. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
