How Hayley works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in small, manageable steps. Hayley also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings become overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing helps people find reasons to change and stay motivated.
Solution-Focused Therapy is brought in to identify concrete next steps and build on what already works. Across her approach she aims for an authentic and often laughter-filled atmosphere. She combines evidence-based techniques with compassion to help people create lasting shifts.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs and readiness. Hayley has three years of clinical experience and practices from Connecticut. She conducts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. In practice this means the therapist reflects what you say, asks questions that matter to you, and helps set goals that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From there she will recommend a mix of methods and adjust as you go so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions, share brief updates, or work through short struggles without scheduling a full call. These options help therapy fit into busy days and different routines.
