Harouna Soumah, LMHC, LMFT
Practical, culturally aware therapy for everyday struggles
About Harouna
Harouna Soumah helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult life changes. He is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience.
Background and approach
He works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, parenting stress, and questions about identity and intimacy. He uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help clients manage symptoms and develop practical skills.
Sessions focus on clear goals like better communication, healthier routines, and improved coping. He aims to make therapy a place for steady, honest work rather than quick fixes.
Soumah takes a culturally informed and compassionate stance. He pays attention to each person's background and life story when planning treatment.
That means respecting differences in identity and tailoring strategies to what actually fits someone's daily life. In sessions he helps people untangle relationship patterns, address attachment and abandonment concerns, and work through shame or guilt that gets in the way.
He also supports people dealing with impulsivity, anger, body image, and career or financial stress. Practical tools and skill building are emphasized alongside emotional processing.
He helps clients practice communication skills, set realistic goals, and try new behaviors between sessions. The overall aim is clearer choices, stronger connections, and more reliable ways to cope with life’s ups and downs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Soumah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and emotional processing. One commonly used approach emphasizes practical strategies to manage anxiety and depression, such as structured exercises for mood regulation and routine changes to improve sleep and energy. Another approach centers on relationship and attachment patterns, helping people identify repeating dynamics and practice clearer communication and boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily routines. Together they review what helps, adjust plans over time, and try different techniques until a useful fit emerges.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow visual cues and more in-depth conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins or coaching-style moments, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward when schedules shift.
