About Susan
Susan Haynes-Carabello is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. Susan also supports those facing big life changes and concerns related to disaster recovery and grief.
She prefers a collaborative, partner-style approach in sessions. She listens first, then offers practical tools and skills clients can use between meetings. That work often includes mindfulness practices, emotion-focused exercises, and steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Susan draws on a broad background that includes a master’s degree in clinical psychology and many hours of post-graduate study across mind-body approaches. She aims to create an open, validating space where people can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. The focus is on reducing barriers that keep someone from moving forward.
Sessions emphasize learning simple, usable techniques tailored to each person. That might mean building stress management habits, practicing emotional regulation, or identifying belief patterns that hold someone back. Over time the work is designed to increase confidence and support clearer direction in life.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented while staying attuned to each person’s emotional needs. People who want both skill-building and emotional understanding may find this a good fit. Susan accepts clients in English and is based in Florida, offering care informed by long experience working with trauma-related concerns.
How her approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and emphasizes listening and empathy. It helps people feel heard and guides the therapist to tailor support to the individual’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people notice, name, and move through strong emotions so they don’t become overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods make sense based on goals and preferences. She combines emotional work and practical techniques so clients learn skills they can use between sessions.
