About Susan
Susan Haynes-Carabello is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and big life transitions. Her style is warm and direct, focused on clear tools and steady support.
Susan mixes practical techniques with careful listening. She helps clients name what matters, spot unhelpful thought patterns, and try small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Many people seek her help for trauma and abuse recovery, coping with loss, and rebuilding confidence. Her background includes long-term study in psychology, human motivation, and brain-related approaches to healing. That experience informs how she tailors suggestions to each person’s needs.
She aims to create a validating, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be shared openly. Susan works collaboratively and teaches simple skills people can use between sessions. She emphasizes tools for managing stress, building self-regard, and staying present.
The work often focuses on practical steps people can take right away to feel steadier. People who want help with life purpose, caregiver strain, aging issues, or recovery from traumatic events may find her approach useful. She also supports concerns such as seasonal mood shifts, isolation, and challenges tied to military service and traumatic brain injury.
Sessions are offered in English and she sees clients who are located internationally.
Approach-driven online therapy for stress and change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem, with the therapist listening carefully and following the client's lead to build understanding and self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches step-by-step exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name emotions and use that awareness to change how they respond to stress and relationship pain.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative so techniques can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while using approaches that focus on managing anxiety and building resilience.
