About Harouna
Harouna Soumah is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 12 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other everyday struggles including social anxiety and life transitions.
He focuses on practical steps that make social situations and relationships easier to manage. Sessions often include talking through what happens in social settings, practicing clearer communication, and identifying small changes that reduce overwhelm. He also helps with work stress, sleep and eating concerns, and mood challenges like bipolar symptoms.
Soumah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than relying on general advice. That means he uses approaches shown to help people change avoidance patterns, regulate strong emotions, and repair communication breakdowns. He aims to help clients spot patterns, try new responses, and notice what works in real life.
He pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes experiences of shame, identity, and connection. This helps when addressing issues such as loneliness, attachment injuries, abandonment worries, or men's issues. Practical problem-solving around money, career worries, and parenting is also part of his work.
People who come to him for support can expect a direct, steady process of setting goals and practicing skills between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to discuss their priorities and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Soumah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing behaviors and improving emotional responses. One common approach helps people experiment with small changes in social situations, practice new ways of interacting, and reduce avoidance behaviors that keep anxiety strong. Another approach centers on emotion regulation and coping skills to manage intense feelings and improve sleep, mood, and impulse control.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will review your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting strategies based on what helps you notice gradual improvement. The clinician-client relationship is used to test out communication skills and new responses to difficult moments.
