About Haylee
Haylee Heckert is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, and big life changes. She speaks plain, direct language and aims to make sessions feel warm and respectful. Haylee emphasizes a working relationship where clients can talk openly and shape their goals together.
She draws on client-centered principles, which put the person's experience at the center of each session. That means she listens first and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Haylee also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns or communication issues come up.
Haylee has three years of professional experience. Her background includes work with college students, children ages 5 to 18, and clinical experience in an adult inpatient setting during her internship. She has helped people with depression, ADHD, trauma, and challenges in peer or family relationships.
In sessions she focuses on defining clear goals and practical steps to reach them. She encourages honest feedback about what is or isn’t helping so the plan can change as needed. The approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs.
Haylee practices in South Dakota and works in English. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and making the session fit the person. Online work can keep that focus by letting the therapist respond to what matters most and helping clients set clear, personal goals. Gottman Method ideas are practical tools for spotting communication patterns and building better interactions; online sessions can use those tools to role-play conversations and practice new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Haylee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan if something isn’t working. The work is shared - the client’s feedback guides changes over time.
Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue consistent work during life transitions while focusing on concrete steps toward change.
