About Haylee

Haylee uses a client-centered approach to make sure the person’s priorities guide sessions. She also uses the Gottman Method for relationship work, applying research-based techniques to improve communication and reduce conflict.
How Haylee works
In sessions she helps people name goals and design clear, manageable plans to reach them. She has three years of clinical experience and has worked with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, ADHD, and low self-esteem. Haylee is willing to talk about how the therapeutic relationship is going and adjust her approach when needed.
That emphasis on collaboration helps people feel heard and involved in their progress. Practical coping strategies are part of her approach. She works with clients to develop tools for panic attacks, stress management, and handling life changes.
Sessions often include skill practice and short-term planning that people can try between meetings. Haylee offers sessions in English and practices in South Dakota. She invites people to start by clarifying what matters most to them, then building step-by-step plans toward those goals.

How Haylee’s Approaches Work Online
Haylee uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s own experience. That means sessions start with listening and reflecting, then move toward goals the person chooses. This approach is useful for low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and making sense of life changes.She also uses the Gottman Method for relationship issues. That method breaks communication down into clear skills and exercises people can practice. It helps reduce conflict, improve connection, and teach practical ways to talk about hard subjects.
Choosing the right approach is part of treatment and happens together. Haylee talks with each person about their needs, preferences, and goals, then suggests what to try first. She stays open to adjusting methods over time so the work feels useful and relevant.
Online therapy with Haylee is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills, phone calls work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep progress moving even when schedules change.
