Haley uses elements of cognitive behavioral approaches alongside ideas from Carl Rogers and Gestalt. In practice that means noticing patterns of thought, trying new ways of responding, and talking through emotions that show up in daily life.

Sessions move at a practical pace. Haley helps identify small, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills. She also checks in about what’s working and adjusts the plan as needed.
Her background includes working in schools with children as well as with adults in other settings. That variety shaped a straightforward, flexible style that aims to meet people where they are. Haley works with clients in Arizona and conducts sessions in English.
She values collaboration and clear goals so people can track progress and leave sessions with something to try between meetings.
How Haley’s approaches work in online therapy
Haley draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. This approach focuses on practical skills such as identifying negative thoughts, testing them, and practicing small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also leans on person-centered principles inspired by Carl Rogers, which emphasize listening, empathy, and helping people feel heard. That approach is useful for building trust and working through painful feelings at a pace that feels tolerable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Haley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt methods to fit their needs. She treats the choice of techniques as a collaboration and checks in regularly to see what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity of care across different situations.
