Haylee Heckert , LPC

Haylee Heckert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has supported a broad range of people across different stages of life. She has worked with college students, children ages 5-18, and families, and during her internship she gained experience in an inpatient adult setting. Over the course of her practice she has helped clients manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, peer and family relationships, and trauma.

She emphasizes respect and kindness in her work and aims to cultivate a therapeutic environment that feels warm, collaborative, and growth-oriented. Haylee values the therapeutic relationship as central to progress and remains open to conversation about how therapy can best meet each person’s needs. In sessions she partners with clients to clarify goals and then develops practical plans to help reach those goals, adjusting the approach as needed to support meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Haylee Heckert uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients take the lead in setting goals. This approach focuses on empathic listening and validation, and it is helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. The Gottman Method is used to address relationship dynamics by improving communication, identifying conflict patterns, and building mutual understanding - it is particularly useful for couples and partners working on relationship and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Haylee collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains aligned with what is most helpful. Clients are active participants in choosing the direction of their work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home, and continue work between meetings, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor the format to each client's preferences.
