About Mallori
Mallori Hayden uses a collaborative, evidence-based approach to help people find practical ways forward. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and she draws on 14 years as an LPC and 18 years in the mental health field. Mallori writes simply and listens closely to find what matters to each person.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. Other areas she supports include grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career challenges, and bipolar mood concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than jargon. Mallori has worked in both mental health agencies and independent practice. That range means she is familiar with short-term problem solving and longer-term work.
She uses practical questions, reflection, and gentle guidance to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. In sessions she aims to build a strong working relationship first. That foundation makes it easier to test small changes and problem-solve together.
Progress often comes from noticing small shifts and practicing them between meetings. People who prefer talking through their situation and getting actionable steps may find her style helpful. Mallori encourages clients to set realistic goals and to return to what is working.
She invites anyone curious about change to start with a simple conversation about what they want to achieve.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Two common evidence-based approaches she draws on focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. Cognitive-focused techniques involve identifying and shifting thoughts that worsen mood or anxiety, then practicing different responses to everyday situations to reduce distress. Behavioral approaches emphasize small experiments and new habits that improve sleep, reduce avoidance, or strengthen relationships by trying new actions and tracking results.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to choose methods that match the client's goals, challenges, and comfort level. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting what they do together based on what helps most.
Online therapy with Mallori is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to get consistent care around work, family, and travel schedules.
