About Haiam
Haiam Aboelella is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She works with individuals dealing with mood concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related challenges.
Background and approach
Haiam aims to meet people where they are and build on their strengths. She approaches therapy in a straightforward, collaborative way.
Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that make daily life easier. She listens first, then helps shape goals that feel meaningful and achievable.
Haiam uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to suit different needs. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for changing unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build action, and the Gottman Method for relationship work.
Techniques are chosen to match each person's situation and goals. Her style is warm and person-centered.
Clients can expect a calm space to talk about painful events, addictive behaviors, or patterns like codependency and impulsivity. She helps people practice new skills between sessions and track small wins.
With five years of experience and a Florida LCSW credential, Haiam combines clinical knowledge with an everyday focus on coping and recovery. She encourages honest conversation about grief, family problems, career stress, and struggles with anger or isolation.
How chosen approaches work online
Haiam draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce conflict in close relationships. That approach focuses on specific interaction skills and shared exercises designed to build trust and understanding.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with painful memories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different responses to stress and mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Haiam will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy makes these approaches more flexible. Video calls let Haiam observe interactions and guide exercises in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or cameras aren't available. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework help, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats let people fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady contact while working toward their goals.
