Hayley Kassraie

Hayley Kassraie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people move forward when they feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected. She meets each person with warmth, steady support, and a light touch of humor. Hayley aims to help clients build confidence, balance, and more self-compassion so they can reconnect with what brings them joy.

Her approach mixes practical, evidence-based techniques with a personable style. Sessions often center on skill building and mindset shifts that address stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, and depression. She also pays attention to concerns around body image, loneliness, obsessions and compulsions, forgiveness, and issues common to young adults and women.

Hayley draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create a comfortable, accepting space. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach specific coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her toolkit when people want focused goal work and clearer next steps.

With three years of clinical experience, Hayley aims to make the process approachable for people who are new to therapy or returning after time away. Her sessions blend practical work with encouragement so progress feels meaningful and manageable.

Hayley practices in Connecticut and provides services in English. If someone is interested in working with her, they follow the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Hayley uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship, which helps people feel heard and understood even when meeting online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hayley works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helpful and adjusts techniques so sessions stay useful and focused on real-life change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the session options available and what will fit into your routine. Online work can make it easier to keep therapy in a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments fit around work, childcare, or school schedules. Discuss practical needs with Hayley when you schedule to find a rhythm that supports ongoing progress.
