Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Hayley Peterson draws from well-established therapy methods to support concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. In Client-Centered Therapy, sessions focus on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what they are feeling and clarify what they want, at a pace that feels manageable.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practice more effective responses to everyday stressors. For clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or impulsive reactions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can be useful for building distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and healthier relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hayley collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adapts sessions to fit the client’s needs over time.

Online therapy makes it easier to stay consistent with support. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and accessibility between sessions.
