Additional areas she supports include body image, forgiveness, loneliness, obsessive-compulsive concerns, personality-related patterns, women's issues, and young adult transitions.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Hayley often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short-term skills that fit well into video or phone sessions for stress, anxiety, depression, and body image concerns.She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. This approach helps build trust and keeps sessions focused on the client's priorities, whether working through loneliness, self-esteem, or life transitions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed; these skills can be taught and practiced across formats to reduce overwhelm and improve coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Hayley will talk with each person about goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods as progress and preferences become clear. Clients help set the pace and choose which tools feel most useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and brief skill reminders between longer sessions.
