Haley Waunch, LPC

Haley Waunch offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients are invited to be honest and open about what they are experiencing. She recognizes that building trust takes time and values the courage it takes to bring difficult emotions and situations into the therapeutic setting. Haley works collaboratively with each person to help them process challenges and move toward a more manageable and balanced place in life.

Her practice draws on a cognitive behavioral therapy framework, combined with person-centered principles inspired by Carl Rogers and experiential elements from Gestalt therapy. This blend supports practical skill-building for symptoms like anxiety and stress while also honoring the whole person and their lived experience. Haley has worked with people of all ages, including young children in school settings as well as adults in other contexts.

Haley holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and applies these approaches with sensitivity to each client s needs, goals, and pace. She emphasizes collaboration, clear communication, and an individualized plan to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and adjustment to life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Haley commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and stress, with person-centered principles rooted in Carl Rogers, which prioritize empathy, respect, and the client s own perspective. She also draws on Gestalt-influenced techniques that emphasize present-moment awareness and experiential exploration to help clients better understand their feelings and interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Haley collaborates with each client to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as work progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with Haley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for their situation.
