About Haylee
Haylee Heckert is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage anxiety, anger, depression, and stress. She works with parents and young adults on relationship and family concerns and supports people coping with trauma, grief, and ADHD. Her approach feels warm and straightforward.
She aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients can begin making change. Haylee focuses on listening first and asking practical questions about what’s not working.
Background and approach
Together clients define clear goals and leave sessions with small, doable steps. She emphasizes honest conversation about the therapy process and checks in about what helps and what doesn’t. Her background includes work with college students and children ages 5 to 18, plus experience in an adult inpatient setting during internship.
That mix informs how she talks about boundaries, routines, and communication in everyday life. She draws on approaches that center the client and that support relationship skills. In sessions she uses straightforward language and examples you can try between meetings.
Expect help with communication problems, panic or social anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Haylee can also work through issues related to trauma, sexual assault, and self-harm with care and attention to safety. Clients often leave with a simple plan they can put into practice.
The work is collaborative, stepwise, and focused on what the person wants to change next.

Approaches for online work and relationship skill building
Haylee uses client-centered therapy to create a space where the person leads the conversation. This approach focuses on listening, understanding each person’s experience, and building goals that match their priorities. It can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm.She also draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship and communication challenges. That method concentrates on practical skills for talking, repairing conflict, and improving connection, which can help with ongoing relationship strain and family communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Haylee will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then suggest ways of working together. The plan can change as needed to better fit the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and observation of nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and offer several ways to stay connected with a licensed professional.
