About Symphony
Symphony Haynes-Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and stress from life changes. Symphony also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, career shifts, and struggles around self-esteem and guilt.
Her sessions center on clear listening and an interactive style. She combines practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered conversation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of her stated approach when emotions and attachment patterns are central to the work.
Symphony uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people notice what matters and move toward those values. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed. The result is a mix of talking, skills practice, and problem-focused steps.
People can expect direct, goal-oriented sessions that still allow space to name difficult feelings. Symphony helps clients sort through relationship issues, family-of-origin themes, and challenges tied to adoption, foster care, or blended families. She also addresses caregiver stress, domestic violence aftermath, and substance concerns.
Her work is practical and collaborative. She invites clients to set goals and to try different tools in session. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming emotions and the patterns that unfold between people. It helps when relationship patterns and attachment needs are hard to name or when feelings keep getting pushed aside. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take concrete steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and emotions together and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Symphony will work collaboratively to figure out which tools fit a client's goals and circumstances. Sessions often mix approaches so the plan can change as needs become clearer.
