About Hayley
Hayley McLemore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with seven years of practice experience. She focuses on common life stresses and longer-term struggles such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addictions. She also helps people facing career strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and problems with anger and self-esteem.
Hayley uses straightforward conversation to help people talk through what matters most. She aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking issues into manageable steps. Sessions focus on practical skills and decision points rather than long explanations.
Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck on them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy supports identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals and perspective central to each session.
Hayley also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people weigh options and find internal motivation to change. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when people want brief, goal-oriented work to solve immediate problems. Together these methods are used to address a range of issues including attachment challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness effects, codependency, and substance use concerns.
She offers services in English and American Sign Language. International clients are accepted. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Hayley adapts therapy approaches for online work
Hayley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing concrete changes to improve mood and daily functioning.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences together and agree on which methods to try. This means sessions can shift over time if different strategies prove more helpful.
Please confirm the session formats offered before booking since the original profile does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules. They can allow for shorter check-ins on difficult days, make it possible to meet without traveling, and support ongoing work when life events make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep progress moving forward while matching the work to practical life constraints.
