See online therapy optionsAbout Dabney
Dabney Hayes is an LPCC and LPC licensed in California and Colorado with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and related concerns such as grief and self-esteem.
Dabney focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She describes an integrative, client-centered approach that draws from several evidence-informed methods. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented, with practical steps to try between meetings.
Her background includes work in individual and group settings. She has supported people through chronic life changes, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. She also lists experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and sexual diversity topics including BDSM and kink.
In therapy she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and attachment-focused methods. Those approaches are used to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. Sessions often include skill practice, behavior experiments, and reflection on values and goals.
Dabney notes experience with both short-term coaching-style work and longer clinical work. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are directed to the platform matching process to schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people notice thoughts and test them with small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and patterns that keep people stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and building willingness to feel difficult emotions while taking meaningful action. It is often used for stress, chronic pain, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns and how early bonds shape expectations; it can help with intimacy-related issues and chronic relationship stress.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan rather than committing to one fixed method up front.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. It also lets clients practice skills in their everyday settings and bring real-life situations into sessions for immediate troubleshooting. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, skills practice, and behavior experiments so the work continues between meetings.
