About Symphony
Symphony Haynes-Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and the everyday pressures of career and parenting. Symphony also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, and identity concerns related to LGBT issues.
She uses practical talk and active listening in sessions. Her style is interactive and focused on clear goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches alongside client-centered and emotion-focused ideas to address thinking patterns and relationship dynamics.
In sessions she helps people recognize unhelpful thoughts, practice new ways of relating, and build skills to cope with strong emotions. She can offer tools for managing anger, reducing anxiety, and handling life transitions like job changes or shifts in family roles. Therapy can include discussion, behavioral experiments, and skill-building exercises.
Symphony has worked with a wide range of concerns including adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, body image, and problems connected to family of origin. She also supports people facing domestic violence aftermath, substance use concerns, and the strain of forgiveness, guilt, or shame.
Her approach aims to be collaborative and straightforward. People often come with a specific problem or with a sense of being stuck, and sessions focus on what can change next. She accepts international clients and holds her LPC credential in Georgia.
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking action toward them while accepting difficult feelings. It can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone struggles with direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and work or study stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening-based relationship where the client sets the pace and topics; it supports people who need space to clarify priorities and decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Symphony will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best suit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements from CBT, ACT, and client-centered work over several sessions so strategies fit real life.
