About Haylee
Haylee Heckert is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Dakota who focuses on practical support for common struggles. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and stress. Haylee aims to build a respectful, warm space where people feel heard and understood.
Her approach centers on a strong therapeutic relationship. She uses a client-centered style that prioritizes each person’s goals and experience. Haylee also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills and communication are a focus.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable plans. Haylee works with clients to define what matters most, then breaks progress into steps people can try between sessions. She invites feedback and adjusts the plan as needed, so therapy stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Haylee draws on three years of clinical experience across settings, including work with college students and an inpatient setting during internship. That background informs how she supports people through life transitions, trauma responses, and challenges with self-esteem or anger. People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented style often find her approach helpful.
Conversations are direct but kind, focused on building coping skills and improving communication. Haylee encourages open dialogue about how therapy is going so adjustments can be made along the way.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person you are and the goals you set. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps you make choices that feel right. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and adjusting to life changes.The Gottman Method centers on communication skills and patterns that affect relationship stability. It teaches concrete tools for managing conflict, rebuilding trust, and improving everyday interaction. Couples or partners can use these skills to change how they argue and reconnect more reliably.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Haylee will work with clients to identify which methods match their needs and goals, and she will adjust the plan as progress is tracked and new concerns come up. That collaborative process helps keep sessions useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit a lunch break or low bandwidth situations, live chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still focusing on practical steps and skills.
