About Hailey

Hailey Beard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Hailey also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, codependency, and family of origin problems.

She uses practical, person-focused methods to help people talk through what feels stuck. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings. Conversations tend to be interactive and direct, with attention to how past relationships show up in current life.

Hailey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and build different ways of responding. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to strengthen emotional understanding and connection to personal values.

Her work includes supporting people after separation, domestic violence, adoption or foster care experiences, and struggles with commitment or communication. First responder-related stress and caregiver strain are also listed focus areas.

Hailey describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients notice what matters to them, practice new skills, and test changes in everyday situations. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and logistics before booking.

Sessions are conducted in English and Hailey does not work with international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-driven actions. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and motivation concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns and trying concrete experiments to change them. It suits anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused conversation to match what the client needs at different times.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and other commitments. They can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove travel time for appointments. Sessions are offered in English, and Hailey does not accept international clients.
