Haiam Aboelella , LCSW

Haiam Aboelella is a Florida-based licensed clinician with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem struggles, co-dependency, and major life transitions. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she combines practical skills with a respectful belief that each person is the expert on their own story. Haiam works with clients managing diagnoses such as depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mood and personality conditions, offering guidance that meets individuals where they are.

She emphasizes clients' existing strengths as central resources for change and recovery, and she approaches the first step into therapy with encouragement and recognition of its difficulty. Haiam aims to create a collaborative, strengths-focused environment in which people can explore challenges, develop coping strategies, and pursue meaningful goals. Taking the initial step to seek help is acknowledged as courageous, and Haiam affirms that decision while partnering with clients on their path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Haiam Aboelella draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most rather than on eliminating uncomfortable internal experiences.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT provides practical tools for addressing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many everyday challenges through skill-building and structured problem solving.

Haiam combines these approaches with a client-centered stance that prioritizes the client's perspective, pacing, and goals. Finding the right approach is considered a collaborative process - she works with each person to select and adapt methods that fit their needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Haiam is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to tailor communication styles to what works best for each client.
