About Haylee
Haylee Heckert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Dakota with three years of clinical experience. She works with young adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family stress, and coping with life changes.
Haylee has worked in college settings and inpatient care during her internship, giving her experience with early adult transitions and more acute needs. She also has experience supporting people who have faced trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. That background informs how she helps people manage panic, anger, and problems with trust or abandonment.
Her style centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship. She keeps sessions collaborative and invites feedback about what is and isn’t helpful. In practical terms, that means setting clear goals and working on steps to reach them together.
Haylee uses Client-Centered Therapy, focusing on listening and responding to each person's concerns. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work when relevant. Sessions typically include talking through current difficulties, practicing communication skills, and making realistic plans for change.
People in their late teens and twenties often seek her help with the pressure of starting careers, leaving home, and figuring out identity and relationships. If those issues feel familiar, she can help sort priorities, reduce overwhelm, and work toward clearer next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. Online sessions using that approach often involve reflective listening, clarifying goals, and working through immediate problems like anxiety or low self-esteem. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and relationship skills and can be used to practice specific interactions and conflict tools during sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Haylee will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. That process is collaborative and may shift as you both learn what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. If you want to proceed, confirm the session formats offered before booking so they fit your needs. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule sessions around classes or shifts, and use therapy time to rehearse conversations or coping plans relevant to everyday life.
