About Hayley
Hayley Kassraie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting strain, and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Hayley uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people change patterns that feel stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing overwhelming feelings and reducing unhelpful thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens and responds to what each person brings to the room.
In practice she combines skill work with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often include setting small goals, practicing coping strategies between visits, and checking progress together. People who bring concerns about body image, forgiveness, isolation, obsessive thoughts, personality-related struggles, or issues common to young adults and women can expect goal-oriented conversation and skill building.
Hayley describes her style as candid and occasionally lighthearted, while keeping the work practical. She aims to help people rebuild confidence and rediscover what brings them satisfaction. If someone prefers to proceed, they begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Hayley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on identifying thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for managing intense feelings and urges. DBT-based skills can be useful for reducing impulsive reactions and improving day-to-day coping.She also follows a Client-Centered stance, which means listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the individual. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try approaches that fit the person’s preferences and life demands, adjusting as needed over time.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on building practical skills, setting manageable goals, and tracking progress across sessions.
