About Haley
Haley Harmer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and related concerns. Haley aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard and find practical ways forward.
Haley uses straightforward methods that match each person’s needs. Sessions are warm and empathic, with an emphasis on listening first and then building steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts, and on client-centered practices to keep the person’s goals front and center. Her work also includes acceptance and commitment strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need tools for emotional regulation and staying connected to their values. Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationship patterns and closeness.
Haley adapts her approach based on what each person brings to sessions. People come to Haley for many reasons: relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, substance concerns, body image worries, ADHD challenges, career stress, and life transitions. She also supports those coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family struggles.
Haley explains options clearly and helps people choose steps they can try between visits. She practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. Haley emphasizes collaboration and realistic goals, helping people build skills they can use day to day.
Her style is steady, compassionate, and focused on practical change.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then choose steps that match their values. This can be useful when anxiety or avoidance limit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people develop different ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.Haley approaches this work collaboratively. She will talk with each person about which methods fit their goals and preferences, and then shape sessions around those choices. Trying an approach for a few sessions helps both the therapist and the person see what feels most helpful and make adjustments together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video can allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact or shorter exchanges between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while working on the same therapeutic goals they would address in person.
