About Haiam
Haiam Aboelella is a Florida-licensed LCSW who brings five years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a range of relationship and life transition challenges.
Background and approach
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and draws on their existing strengths to address difficulties such as co-dependency, grief, substance issues, and self-esteem concerns. Her practice blends evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).
Haiam emphasizes collaborative care, helping clients identify practical strategies and new perspectives while honoring their values and goals. She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and aims to make the process approachable for people navigating career stress, communication problems, impulsivity, or feelings of emptiness.
Registered as FL LCSW SW22295, she works with a wide range of mood, personality, and addictive concerns and focuses on creating a supportive therapeutic relationship that prioritizes client strengths and meaningful change.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it often uses structured exercises and homework to build new coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and learn acceptance-based strategies to live more flexibly alongside difficult emotions, often supporting people dealing with chronic stress, trauma, or avoidance patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore their experience and find their own solutions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Haiam works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She integrates techniques from different modalities when helpful and invites clients to weigh in on what feels most useful as treatment progresses.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care with more flexibility around work, family, and location. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and engage in therapy in ways that suit individual communication styles and daily schedules.
