About Hayley
Hayley McLemore is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with seven years of professional experience. She practices in California and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse and those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, substance use, communication problems, and isolation. Hayley offers services in English and American Sign Language.
In sessions she encourages open, honest conversation about thoughts and feelings. She listens without judgment and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy are used alongside client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help clients make changes that matter to them.
Hayley often works with people dealing with relationship strain, codependency, attachment issues, and challenges after infidelity. She also supports people confronting guilt, shame, impulsivity, or antisocial personality concerns. For those managing chronic pain or disability, she addresses how health affects mood and daily functioning.
Her approach includes short-term, goal-focused work when helpful and longer conversations when more space is needed. Sessions look at values, small behavioral steps, and skills for handling difficult emotions. She will collaborate with each person to set aims and check progress over time.
Hayley asks prospective clients to use the online matching process to schedule a first session and to confirm the current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Hayley uses methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and learning to act toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which can help with life transitions, anxiety, and depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines, useful for anxiety, mood, and coping with change.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Hayley will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they check which techniques feel most practical and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current online options before booking.

Hayley will discuss how to make sessions fit into everyday life during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
