Susan Haynes-Carabello is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with more than 25 years of professional experience. She holds a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology and has completed thousands of hours of post-graduate research, training, and study in areas that include human potential, self-esteem, motivation, biology and nutrition, heart-centered therapies, self-regulation, and methods for releasing subconscious dysfunctional beliefs. Her training also spans EMDR, Emotional Freedom Technique, Emotion Code, Body Code, meditation, trauma release, neuropsychology, neuroplasticity, consciousness raising, and spirituality.

Susan brings significant experience helping people reduce stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, boost motivation and confidence, and address depression. She works toward creating an environment that feels validating, open, and empowering so thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Her approach supports clients in identifying and releasing barriers that have limited expression of their potential and life purpose.

Known for a collaborative, partnership-based style, she teaches practical tools and skill sets that move clients away from limiting mindsets and toward goals that reflect their highest aspirations. Her work often focuses on rebuilding self-esteem, coping with life changes, and developing strategies to manage stress and traumatic responses so clients can pursue a more purposeful life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Susan uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the center of the work - the therapist listens with empathy and supports the client in exploring goals, values, and feelings to foster self-understanding and growth. This approach is often helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life purpose questions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors. CBT is effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping strategies.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another part of her toolkit, emphasizing the role of emotions in forming patterns of relating and self-perception. EFT can assist clients in processing trauma responses and improving emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Susan works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so therapies are combined or adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Therapy with her can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from licensed professionals and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
