Haylee Heckert , LPC

Haylee Heckert, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), has worked with a range of people across different life stages, including college students, children ages 5 to 18, and families. During her internship she gained experience in an inpatient setting providing care for adults, which broadened her clinical perspective and informed her approach to treatment.

She has supported clients facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, challenges in peer and family relationships, and trauma. Haylee emphasizes respectful, compassionate care and strives to create a therapeutic atmosphere that feels warm, collaborative, and conducive to personal growth. She views the relationship between therapist and client as central to progress and remains open to discussion about how to tailor treatment to each person.

In sessions she works with clients to clarify goals and develop practical plans to reach them, offering guidance while encouraging client input and autonomy. Her practice centers on partnership and adaptability, with an emphasis on helping people move toward meaningful change through respectful, goal-oriented work.

Client-focused and relationship-centered approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting the person where they are. In this approach the therapist supports the client in identifying their own goals and builds sessions around the client’s needs, which can be helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

The Gottman Method is a relationship-focused approach that helps partners improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen emotional connection. It uses practical tools and exercises to address patterns that contribute to relationship stress and supports couples in building healthier interaction habits.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Haylee works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, invite feedback, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can increase flexibility and make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. These formats allow clients to connect with licensed professionals from wherever they are, accommodate different communication styles, and support consistent engagement in therapy over time.
