About Haylee

Haylee Heckert is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to ADHD. She welcomes conversations about relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and recovery after trauma or abuse. Haylee writes straightforward goals with clients and keeps sessions focused on practical steps they can try between meetings.

Haylee aims to make the therapy space warm and respectful. She emphasizes a strong working relationship and stays open to feedback about what is or isn’t helpful. Sessions are collaborative, with the client directing priorities while Haylee offers guidance and structure.

In therapy she helps people name clear goals and break them into doable steps. This can include building coping tools for panic attacks, improving communication skills, or managing overwhelming feelings like guilt and shame. She also supports work on self-esteem, self-love, and processing loss.

Her experience includes work with college students and young people, as well as time in an inpatient setting during internship where she supported adults. Those roles shaped how she approaches crisis, safety planning, and shorter-term focused work when needed.

Haylee uses approaches that center the person and their relationships. She works in ways that draw on Client-Centered Therapy and relationship-focused techniques from the Gottman Method when couples or relationship dynamics are part of the work. Overall, she aims to help people leave sessions with a clearer plan and skills they can use day to day.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client’s lead to set goals. This approach helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and building emotional awareness.

The Gottman Method brings a relational lens to sessions. It offers practical tools for improving communication and managing conflict. Those techniques can be useful when relationship patterns or interaction habits are a main concern.

Deciding which method fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try approaches that match those needs. That process is collaborative and can change over time as progress or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may reduce travel time and let people join from different locations, which helps when scheduling around school, work, or parenting. If you want to know the specific session formats offered, confirm options before booking so you can choose what fits your routine.
