Hailey Ihrig , LPC

Hailey Ihrig is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for people facing depression or major life changes. Her approach centers on building a trusting connection so clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.

She has five years of experience working with a range of concerns tied to relationships and personal history. That includes attachment and family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness or shame, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse. She also supports people dealing with substance concerns and post-traumatic stress.

In sessions Hailey helps people sort through communication problems, jealousy, and social anxiety. She offers tools for coping with life changes and for strengthening self-love and purpose. Her style is direct and encouraging, with an emphasis on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Hailey works with adults who want a collaborative, straightforward approach to healing. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. Many clients come seeking relief from intense emotions and clearer ways to manage daily stressors.

To begin, she invites people to share their story and goals. That information guides how sessions are structured and which strategies are prioritized. Her goal is to help clients feel steadier, more understood, and better able to handle life’s demands.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Hailey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she applies helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences and their emotional impact so symptoms like hypervigilance or intrusive memories can lessen over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hailey works with each person to understand goals, life context, and comfort with different methods, then adapts techniques to fit those needs. She checks in regularly to adjust the plan when something isn’t working or when new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send quick updates, try brief coping exercises, or follow up between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay consistent with their work toward feeling better.
