Haylee Heckert, LPC

Haylee Heckert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a warm, respectful approach to helping people navigate life’s challenges. She has worked with a variety of populations, including college students, children from ages 5 to 18, families, and adults in an inpatient setting during her internship. That range of experience informs her work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, peer and family relationships, and trauma.

Haylee emphasizes kindness and collaboration in the therapy room. She aims to build a therapeutic relationship that supports growth by offering a calm, welcoming environment where clients feel heard and understood. Because she views the bond between therapist and client as central to progress, she welcomes open dialogue about how to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

In sessions Haylee helps clients clarify their goals and develops practical plans to reach them. Her style is focused on partnership - working together to identify steps, develop coping strategies, and track progress over time. As an LPC, she centers respect and individualized care in each therapeutic relationship.

Client-Centered and Gottman Methods for Online Support

Haylee integrates client-centered therapy and the Gottman Method into her online practice to address a range of personal and relational concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting the client’s own goals; it can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes because it centers the client’s experience and strengths. The Gottman Method is a structured approach to couples work that emphasizes improving communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection, making it useful for relationship struggles, communication problems, and parenting dynamics.

Finding the right approach often unfolds over time, and Haylee approaches this decision collaboratively. She works with each person or couple to understand needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods accordingly so therapy fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals and therapists when in-person visits are not feasible.
