About Haley
Haley Hernandez is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, self esteem concerns, LGBTQ issues, and life changes. Haley also focuses on panic attacks, self-love, sexuality, and social anxiety and phobia.
Haley keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She uses a client-centered approach, which means conversations start from each person’s experience and move at their pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors in everyday situations.
In practical terms she helps people break down overwhelming problems into small steps. That can look like planning short behavioral experiments for social situations, practicing breathing or grounding techniques for panic, or working on self-talk that undermines confidence. Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings.
Haley aims to match tools to what feels doable. She focuses on clear goals such as reducing panic episodes, handling social situations with less dread, or improving everyday confidence. Progress is measured by small, observable changes rather than broad promises.
Her base of work is in New York and she works in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session, which helps set immediate goals and plan next steps.
How Haley uses client-centered work and CBT in online sessions
Haley combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in clear, practical ways. Client-centered therapy means the conversation begins with what matters to the person and moves at their pace, helping build trust and decide next steps together. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with panic, social anxiety, and low self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Haley will discuss goals and preferences in early meetings and adjust methods as those goals become clearer. That collaborative process helps choose techniques that fit the person’s daily life and comfort level.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills between meetings in real settings and then talk about what happened in the next session. If a particular way of meeting - such as a phone call or video session - is important, check current options when you book.
