Haylee Heckert , LPC

Haylee Heckert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and life changes. She works with adults facing depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and concerns tied to trauma or ADHD. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things.

Haylee emphasizes a collaborative relationship. She listens first and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on steps clients can use between meetings.

She draws on client-centered ways of working to keep the person's needs and values in view. That means sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed script. Haylee also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a central concern.

With three years of experience in clinical settings, she has supported people dealing with grief, anger, panic, and the effects of abuse. She aims to treat everyone with respect and kindness and invites open conversation about how to make therapy helpful.

Haylee is based in South Dakota and conducts sessions in English. People can expect a straightforward start where goals are defined and a plan is created to reach them.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports decisions that fit the client's values. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, self-esteem, and adjusting to life changes.

The Gottman Method looks at interaction patterns between partners and teaches concrete skills for communication and conflict management. It can help when relationship issues, communication problems, or trust concerns are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Haylee will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then shape sessions to match. That makes it easier to test what helps and adjust as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or weekly support without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
