About Haley
Haley Waunch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a calm space where people can be honest about hard emotions and difficult situations. Haley values trust and aims to help clients move toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses person-centered ideas from Carl Rogers to create a warm, accepting atmosphere.
Background and approach
Elements of Gestalt therapy inform her focus on awareness and present-moment experience. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Haley listens first, then helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck.
Together, she and the client set small, doable goals to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and handle life changes. She has experience across settings including schools and adult services. That background helps her adapt language and tools to different ages and situations.
Haley works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and major life transitions. People who want a direct but compassionate counselor often find this approach helpful. Haley aims to balance real-world strategies with a respectful, person-centered presence.
Her practice is focused on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How Haley’s approaches translate to online care
Haley uses several evidence-based techniques adapted for remote work. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve coping. These methods often use homework and short exercises that fit well into video or messaging formats.Person-centered work drawn from Carl Rogers emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. Online sessions keep the same tone by prioritizing listening and empathy, which helps people feel understood even when they are not in the same room. Gestalt-influenced techniques encourage present-moment awareness and noticing bodily or emotional signals, often through simple in-session experiments or gentle prompts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust techniques and the session rhythm so therapy fits the client’s life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief reflections. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
