About Haiam
Haiam Aboelella is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and problems with sleep and eating. She also supports those coping with trauma, addiction, grief, or low self-esteem.
Haiam keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what matters to them. Together they set short-term steps that feel doable.
The tone is warm and direct rather than overly clinical.
How Haiam works
Her work draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to change unhelpful thinking and build values-based action. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused approaches when emotion regulation and relationships are central concerns. Client-centered methods guide the collaborative way she meets people where they are.
Over five years she has helped people navigate big life changes, relationship difficulties, and patterns like codependency, impulsivity, or isolation. She also supports people facing abuse, domestic violence histories, and substance use issues. Haiam pays attention to co-occurring problems rather than treating issues in isolation.
Her sessions suit people who want practical tools plus a steady therapeutic ally. She encourages realistic goals and small steps that add up. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment according to the sign-up process.

Online support options
How Haiam blends therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep problems going and practicing new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or impulsivity are present.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to prioritize. Sessions can combine techniques so clients build skills and also work on values, emotions, and relationship patterns together.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is lower or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, and ongoing skill rehearsal between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
