About Misty
Misty Hayes is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and grief. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can feel steadier and more in control. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at small, useful changes that add up over time.
She meets each person where they are and works at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions center on identifying what already helps and what gets in the way.
Background and approach
Misty uses practical tools to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Across 16 years of practice she has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and struggles with self-esteem. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.
Her work includes attention to intimacy-related issues, life purpose, and managing panic attacks. Misty draws on a mix of established approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. She blends these to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method.
Her style is direct but respectful, with a focus on building resilience and long-term coping strategies. To begin, people are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches guide remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, anger, and finding motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like panic and social anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help set the pace and focus for sessions so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid needing to be on camera every session. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to remote conversations and exercises so clients can practice tools between sessions.
