rie
Are you the person everyone depends on, yet you often feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what you need for yourself? Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same relationship patterns, struggle to set boundaries without guilt, overthink your decisions, or feel like you've lost pieces of yourself while taking care of everyone else.
Fayola Caines, LMHC is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Riverview, FL, providing individual and couples therapy to adults throughout the Tampa Bay area and virtual therapy across Florida. She helps clients navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, low self-worth, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, caregiver burnout, family-of-origin concerns, and major life transitions.
Fayola's individual therapy work focuses on helping clients understand the experiences and relationship patterns that influence how they think, feel, communicate, and respond today. Therapy may include exploring attachment and relationship patterns, childhood and family experiences, self-worth, emotional regulation, boundaries, identity, grief, and the tendency to prioritize the needs of others while neglecting their.
She also specializes in couples therapy, marriage counseling, relationship counseling, and premarital counseling, helping couples address communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, trust concerns, and unhealthy relationship patterns while working toward healthier communication and greater connection.
Fayola uses an integrative, trauma-informed approach incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness and grounding strategies, and attachment and relational work. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, therapy is tailored to the client's experiences, needs, and goals.
Whether you're trying to improve your relationship, heal from experiences that continue to affect you, establish healthier boundaries, quiet persistent overthinking, or rediscover who you are outside of the roles you carry for others, therapy can help you better understand your patterns and begin making intentional changes.
