About Haylee
Haylee Heckert is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Haylee aims to build a respectful, warm connection so clients feel comfortable sharing what’s hard. Haylee keeps sessions collaborative.
She works with clients to name clear goals and then breaks those goals into small, achievable steps. Conversations center on real-life problems like parenting strain, communication breakdowns, grief, and navigating big life changes.
Her approach blends client-centered therapy with tools from the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce conflict. That combination lets sessions focus both on understanding a person’s experience and practicing concrete skills.
Haylee uses short, practical exercises alongside open conversation. She brings three years of clinical experience and holds an LPC credential from South Dakota.
That background includes work with people facing trauma and panic as well as those rebuilding self-esteem after difficult events. Haylee makes space for honest talk about shame, guilt, and recovery from abuse.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and a plan each step of the way. Haylee is open to checking in about how therapy is going and adjusting approaches so sessions stay useful and manageable.
Using evidence-informed methods in online sessions
Haylee uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client's perspective and create a collaborative space. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what someone says, and helping them find their own solutions to stress, self-esteem, or grief.She also draws on the Gottman Method to address communication and relationship issues in a practical way. That work involves identifying patterns that cause conflict and practicing specific skills to reduce tension and improve understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Haylee will talk with each client about goals and preferences, try techniques that fit those goals, and adjust plans when something isn’t helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people access care from different locations and schedules while still working on clear goals and practical skills.
