About Haley
Haley Cigarroa is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and family challenges. Haley offers down-to-earth support for parents, caregivers, and young adults who want clearer communication and healthier relationships.
Haley takes a personal approach that centers each person's story. She listens first, then helps people set practical goals. Sessions often focus on skills for managing strong emotions, ways to reduce panic or social anxiety, and rebuilding self-compassion after guilt or shame.
Background and approach
Her background includes four years of clinical experience working with issues like postpartum depression, pregnancy-related concerns, adoption and foster care experiences, and blended family adjustments. She also supports those dealing with anger, impulsivity, and caregiver stress. That experience shapes how she helps people problem-solve day-to-day challenges.
Haley uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. She blends these tools to help clients practice new behaviors, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and tell a more helpful story about themselves. People who value faith as part of healing may find her perspective especially relevant.
Haley aims to create a respectful space where values are acknowledged and practical steps are offered. To begin, she asks people what matters most and builds a plan from there.
How Haley uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The therapist follows your lead, reflects your experience, and helps you name what matters. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck and needs a space to be heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression because it teaches concrete skills you can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention practices to reduce reactivity. It teaches ways to notice feelings and body sensations without jumping to action. This can help with stress, anger, and panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Haley works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, values, and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
For online work, confirm available session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for scheduling around caregiving and work commitments.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
