About Mallori

Mallori Hayden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people find clearer ways forward. She invites clients to explore their own strengths and answers while she offers guidance, questions, and gentle structure. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on everyday problems that get in the way of feeling steady and capable.

Hayden brings 14 years as an LPC and 18 years in the mental health field to her work.

Background and approach

She has experience in both agency settings and independent practice. That background means she is familiar with a broad range of struggles, from mood and anxiety concerns to relationship and end-of-life issues. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build on what already works.

Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, but also paced to match each person’s comfort. She emphasizes a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress and decision-making. Her focus areas include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar issues, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related matters, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, career questions, LGBT issues, and parenting.

She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. Hayden offers flexible online formats and supports English-speaking clients in Michigan and beyond. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin arranging sessions.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit family life

Many clients benefit from structured, proven methods that focus on skills and small changes. One common approach is skills-based therapy that teaches practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, mood swings, and sleep. It often involves trying new habits between sessions to see what makes daily life easier.

Another useful method is problem-focused therapy that helps people identify patterns in relationships, work, or parenting and then test different ways of responding. This approach is practical for tackling communication problems, intimacy concerns, grief, and addiction-related behaviors.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will partner with clients to choose or adapt techniques based on their goals, values, and what feels comfortable. Decisions about pace and focus are made together so therapy fits real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and family responsibilities. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs and timeframes. These options make it easier to meet consistently, try techniques between sessions, and keep therapy manageable alongside daily routines.
