Hayley Kassraie, LPC

Hayley Kassraie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that indicates she is a licensed mental health professional who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She often meets people who feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected and are ready for change but unsure how to begin. In those first steps she partners with clients to build confidence, restore balance, and cultivate self-compassion, bringing a blend of evidence-based methods and a warm, often laughter-filled presence.

Her approach combines practical skill-building with authentic empathy, using humor and perseverance to help clients reconnect with themselves and rediscover sources of joy and fulfillment. Hayley emphasizes that growth is possible even in difficult moments and aims to help clients develop the mindset and tools needed for lasting progress. She creates a supportive environment for people who are used to handling things on their own, offering encouragement, genuine support, and actionable strategies as they work toward the changes they want to see.

Clients who choose Hayley can expect a collaborative relationship focused on healing, balance, and meaningful steps forward, guided by both compassion and well-established therapeutic techniques.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional respect, creating a space where clients lead the conversation and discover their own solutions; it is especially helpful for rebuilding self-compassion, confidence, and connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and obsessive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hayley works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these approaches to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging to fit sessions into busy lives. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
