She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people cope with depression, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions often include learning concrete skills and short experiments to try between meetings.
Panic and panic attacks are among the concerns she addresses. Haley helps people understand their symptoms and develop step-by-step strategies to manage sudden fear and worry. Work on panic typically pairs breathing and grounding ideas with gradual exposure to feared sensations or situations.

How evidence-based approaches work with online therapy
Haley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice in daily life. One common approach is teaching breathing and grounding strategies paired with gradual exposure exercises to reduce panic symptoms and lessen avoidance. These steps are explained simply and practiced in-session before trying them in the client’s routine.Another approach emphasizes communication skills and behavioral experiments to improve relationships and workplace interactions. This involves role-play, short homework tasks, and reviewing what worked so people can adjust their approach over time.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Haley works together with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adapt methods based on what feels useful. The aim is to find a practical plan that fits a person’s needs and daily life.
