About Haylee
She values a strong therapeutic bond and invites open discussion about how to make therapy most helpful. In sessions she helps people set clear goals and make step-by-step plans to reach them. Conversations tend to be practical and focused on small, achievable changes rather than abstract theory.
Haylee has three years of experience and has worked across a variety of settings. Her background includes supporting college students, children ages 5 to 18, and adults in an inpatient internship. That range informs how she adapts tools to different life stages and situations.
Her work addresses everyday problems such as family conflict, communication struggles, panic attacks, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, shame, self-harm thoughts, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.
Haylee uses Client-Centered Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method to guide sessions. She listens first, then partners with each person to find workable strategies. The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking, better relationships, and calmer reactions.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist reflects concerns back, asks questions, and helps people identify what matters most to them. This approach can be helpful for anger, grief, anxiety, and building self-esteem.The Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication and managing conflict. In practice this means learning specific ways to talk about hard topics, repair interactions, and rebuild trust in relationships. It is often useful for relationship stress and recurring arguments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Haylee will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods and exercises to try and adjust them as progress is made.
