About Hayley
Hayley Kassraie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who report stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Hayley uses clear, skills-based approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns, and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and urges. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods support short-term goal setting and commitment to change.
In sessions she helps clients break problems into small, manageable tasks. Conversations often include setting simple experiments to test new ways of reacting. She also addresses body image, self-love, forgiveness, isolation or loneliness, and issues that commonly affect young adults and women.
Her practical style includes working through specific examples from daily life. Clients can expect concrete tools to use outside of sessions and straightforward feedback about what’s working. Humor and persistence are part of how she approaches challenges.
Hayley aims to help people rebuild confidence and find balance. She asks clients to try small changes and reviews progress together. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule an initial session through the online process.
How CBT, DBT, and goal work translate to online sessions
Hayley integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused methods in a practical way. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses brief experiments to test different responses. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interactions when feelings run high. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the focus to achievable goals and small steps that move a person forward.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Hayley will discuss your goals and preferences, try approaches that match your needs, and adjust the plan together based on what helps most. The therapist and client decide which tools to prioritize as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice or worksheets between sessions, which can be convenient to review online. Ask about the available session formats when you sign up so you know what will fit your routine.
