About Haley

Haley Harmer is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem and related issues.

Haley takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered methods, and trauma-informed ideas to help people manage strong emotions and recurring reactions. Sessions look at what happens in daily life and what gets in the way of change.

She often helps people understand how attachment patterns and past losses shape current relationships and reactions. That can include facing abandonment, adoption or foster care histories, blended family stresses, and caregiver strain. Practical work can include skills for communication, setting limits, and managing impulses so anger and resentment don’t take over.

Haley also addresses identity and body-related concerns like eating issues, body image, and LGBT matters. For people juggling career stress, caregiving, or major life changes, she combines problem-solving with emotional regulation strategies.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with children, youth, and families, and she has extended that work to support individual adults. Haley frames treatment around clear goals and steps, helping people practice new responses between sessions so progress carries into everyday situations.

How sessions work

How Haley blends approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It helps people reduce struggle with anger by clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward how they want to behave. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and test new behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence responses now; understanding those patterns can make it easier to change reactions in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Haley treats approach selection as collaborative. She will review concerns, goals, and preferences with each person and recommend techniques to try, then adjust based on what helps most.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter phone check-in can work during a lunch break, or a video session can support more in-depth skills practice. The focus is practical: fitting sessions around daily responsibilities so new skills can be practiced between meetings.
