About Haylee
Haylee Heckert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Dakota with three years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, parenting strain, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.
Haylee uses a straightforward, collaborative style. She emphasizes building a trusting working relationship and invites ongoing feedback about what helps. In sessions she helps people name goals and then break those goals into clear, manageable steps.
Her experience includes work with college students, children ages 5-18, and clinical time in an inpatient setting for adults during internship. She has supported people dealing with ADHD, trauma, peer and family relationship concerns, panic, and issues tied to shame or abandonment.
Haylee draws on client-centered ways of working and the Gottman Method. That means she spends time listening to what is most pressing, and then practices skills and communication techniques with the person in session. The focus is on real behavior changes that fit daily life.
When someone first reaches out she will ask about immediate concerns and what a successful outcome looks like. From there she helps plan sessions that target those goals, whether that means building emotion regulation skills, improving communication, or managing symptoms day to day.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from the person’s priorities. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients set clear goals. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and deciding next steps after a setback.The Gottman Method teaches practical communication and relationship skills. It involves short exercises and structured conversation practice that help reduce reactivity and improve how people talk about problems. This work can help with anger that affects close relationships and with rebuilding trust after conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Haylee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what is not.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a break at work, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and practice skills during a session so clients can apply them in everyday life.
