About Haley

Haley Harmer is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of practice. She has worked largely with children, youth, and families, though she also sees adults for issues like anxiety, depression, and anger. Haley lists a broad set of concerns she addresses, such as trauma, relationship problems, parenting stress, and grief.

Her day-to-day work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered principles. Haley also uses trauma-informed methods and elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. She focuses on concrete skills that people can use between sessions, like emotion regulation, communication strategies, and paced exposure to stressful situations.

Haley favors a conversational, respectful style. She listens first, then helps clients name patterns and try small changes. Sessions often include practice of new behaviors and brief experiments to see what works in real life. Progress is tracked through those small changes rather than labels or promises.

Her background includes experience across a wide range of concerns: attachment and adoption issues, ADHD, eating and body image struggles, addiction, and fertility-related stress, among others. That experience informs how she frames goals and plans treatment steps.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow standard clinical structure for assessment and goal-setting. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site steps to begin the matching and scheduling process.

How Haley uses common approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pulled into them and clarify values to guide action. It can be useful for anger that comes from feeling stuck or overwhelmed and for learning to act in line with what matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In practical terms that means identifying unhelpful thinking around frustrating situations, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative responses to reduce reactivity.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how those patterns shape responses to conflict. It can help people who find anger recurring in close relationships by mapping triggers and building different ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Many people find that practicing skills in their daily environment helps transfer what they learn into real situations.
