About Haylee
Haylee Heckert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three years of experience based in South Dakota. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and trauma. Haylee also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas and supports young adult and women’s issues.
Haylee has worked in school and clinical settings and has experience with college students, children ages 5 to 18, and inpatient adult work during an internship. That variety means she is familiar with concerns that show up at different life stages and in different environments. She listens to what each person brings and talks through practical steps for day-to-day coping.
Her approach emphasizes building a working relationship and ongoing dialogue about treatment. In session, she helps people define clear goals and makes concrete plans to reach them. She uses client-centered methods to focus on the person’s perspective and the Gottman Method for relationship concerns where appropriate.
Sessions include straightforward skills and problem-solving tailored to the issues named by the client. Haylee will discuss how to handle symptoms like panic attacks, anger, grief, or family communication challenges and help set small, achievable steps for change.
People who prefer a direct, conversational style and clear next steps may find this approach useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s view and responding without judgment. Online sessions using this approach often center on understanding current struggles, setting small goals, and practicing coping steps between meetings. The Gottman Method offers specific tools for communication and conflict work, which can be used in sessions to rehearse conversations and build clearer interaction skills.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, preferences, and goals and then choose approaches together. That collaborative process helps decide when to focus on skills, when to apply relationship tools, and how to pace the work.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around school, work, or caregiving commitments and reducing travel time. Some formats can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to proceed without video when that better suits the person’s needs. Confirm current session options and formats before booking so arrangements match daily schedules and technical setup.
