About Haley

Haley Harmer, LPC, offers compassionate care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She explains things simply and listens first.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood. She draws on more than a decade of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma.

Haley uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to create a welcoming space where a client’s goals guide the work.

Haley incorporates attachment-informed ideas to address patterns that repeat across relationships. She also brings elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication and connection are central concerns.

Treatment plans are tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Sessions are focused and practical.

Haley helps people develop skills for coping, clearer communication, and healthier boundaries. She also supports work on grief, eating issues, addictions, ADHD-related struggles, and other life changes.

Her style is steady, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. Haley aims to help people build on their strengths and find concrete steps toward the changes they want.

The first sessions typically focus on what matters most to the client and a simple plan for moving forward.

Approaches that guide online work

Haley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Gottman Method in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take practical steps toward a meaningful life. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and emotional connection in relationships. In sessions this looks like learning specific conversation skills, reducing harmful patterns, and increasing moments of positive interaction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Haley works with each client to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. She explains options plainly and checks in regularly so the plan stays aligned with client needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good when visual cues and made-up exercises are helpful. Phone sessions suit people who need less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family routines.
