About Haylee

Haylee Heckert is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on families and parenting concerns alongside related issues. She speaks plainly and works to make sessions straightforward and practical. Parents will find a calm, respectful approach that centers on clear goals and steady progress.

Haylee aims to build a warm and collaborative relationship. She treats people with kindness and welcomes open discussion about how to make therapy most helpful. The therapeutic bond is important to her, and she checks in about what’s working in sessions.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people name their goals and make concrete plans to reach them. She has experience supporting anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and trauma. Haylee also addresses family and relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, anger, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes work with college students, children ages 5 to 18, and families, and she spent internship time in an inpatient adult setting. That variety informs her practical, down-to-earth style and ability to shift approaches for different ages and situations. Haylee uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client’s voice central and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns need attention.

Sessions focus on clear communication, problem solving, and building skills that families can use outside the therapy room.

Online approaches for family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard, build trust, and set their own goals for change. The Gottman Method looks at relationship patterns and teaches practical skills for communication, conflict management, and strengthening connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Haylee will talk with each person or family about goals and preferences and decide together which methods fit best. She adjusts techniques as needs change and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is helpful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for busy parents and families to meet when it works for them and to continue work between meetings. The mix of formats supports flexible, ongoing progress while keeping therapy practical and accessible for everyday life.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
