Hayley McLemore, LCSW

Hayley McLemore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of practice. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, addiction, trauma, and anger. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, career strain, and major life changes.

Hayley focuses on practical conversations. She sets up straightforward sessions for people who snap at loved ones, carry long-standing resentment, or feel overwhelmed by workplace frustration. Sessions look at patterns in thought and behavior and at small, doable steps to reduce reactive responses.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help people find personal reasons to change and set achievable goals.

Hayley has experience addressing complex situations like co-occurring substance concerns, chronic pain and illness, attachment issues, and caregiver stress. She also works with people who are hard of hearing, using American Sign Language where appropriate.

Her work is collaborative and direct. Conversations aim to clarify the next practical step rather than promise a quick fix. Prospective clients are invited to review session options and scheduling details before their first meeting.
