About Susan
Susan Haynes-Carabello is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She works with people who want clear, practical support for these issues.
Susan uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches. Sessions include skill teaching, practical exercises, and thought work aimed at changing patterns that increase distress.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and extensive post-graduate study in areas related to trauma, self-regulation, and mind-body approaches. She has spent many years working directly with people to reduce anxiety, process trauma, and improve motivation and confidence.
In sessions she aims for a collaborative style. People can expect to try concrete tools, practice new responses, and review what does and does not help between meetings. The focus is on breaking long-standing patterns that keep someone stuck and building habits that support clearer thinking and steadier mood.
Susan also addresses related concerns such as abandonment issues, caregiver stress, life purpose, bereavement and hospice-related concerns, isolation and seasonal difficulties, traumatic brain injury effects, veteran issues, and women’s issues. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Susan applies structured approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to each person. It helps when someone needs a calm place to sort feelings and decide goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical and task-oriented, often involving exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and the patterns that maintain distress, which can be useful for processing trauma and strong emotional responses.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Sessions may mix methods so the work stays practical and focused on what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in their usual environment and discuss what did or did not work between meetings, helping keep progress connected to everyday life.
