About Haylee

Haylee Heckert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, trauma and ADHD. Haylee makes clear goals and practical steps the client can use between sessions.

Haylee uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to the client. She values an open therapeutic bond and invites feedback about what helps or doesn’t. Sessions focus on setting goals and building doable plans rather than long theory talks.

Her background includes work with college students, children aged 5–18, and a clinical internship in an inpatient adult setting. That variety gave her experience with peer and family relationship struggles, panic and trauma responses, and managing attention differences. She has used that experience to help people learn skills they can use day to day.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns, name feelings, and try different ways of responding to frustration and anger. She draws on client-centered approaches that keep the client’s voice central. She also uses methods from the Gottman Method to address relationship communication and conflict.

Haylee encourages practical plans that fit a person’s routine. She asks clients to help shape the work so it stays useful. For someone fed up with snapping, growing resentment, or workplace frustration, she offers clear steps and a direct, steady approach to change.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the client, reflecting what they say, and supporting them to set their own goals. It suits people who want a therapist who prioritizes their perspective and helps them make practical, self-directed changes.

The Gottman Method concentrates on relationship communication and conflict skills. It uses structured tools to improve how partners talk, manage disagreements, and rebuild trust, which can help with anger linked to relationships and recurring fights.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Haylee will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that match those needs. She frames this as a collaborative process where adjustments are expected as the work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions that remove travel time, or not needing to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals often find these practical benefits help clients keep momentum between sessions.
