About Haley
Haley Cigarroa is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with four years of experience. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and the strain of family and parenting responsibilities. Haley also works with people carrying guilt and shame and with concerns tied to women’s health, pregnancy, and postpartum challenges.
Haley frames sessions around the person’s story rather than a list of techniques. She listens for how faith, family patterns, and past choices shape current feelings. Conversations often focus on clearer communication, self-compassion, and practical steps for managing panic or intense anger.
Her approach draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. That means sessions generally include checking what matters most to the client, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and trying small experiments to shift day-to-day reactions. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also inform her work when people want to reframe their story or find the next right step.
Haley commonly helps people dealing with adoption and foster care memories, blended family stress, caregiving overwhelm, and young adult transitions. She offers straightforward tools for social anxiety, panic attacks, and forgiveness work while keeping conversations practical and grounded.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect the client’s values, including faith when that is important to the individual. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats through the site’s scheduling process.
How Haley uses therapy approaches online
Haley blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening without judgment and following what matters most to the client, which helps people clarify values and emotional priorities. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice body sensations and thought patterns without getting swept away. Mindfulness can be useful for managing panic symptoms and reducing reactivity to shame or guilt. Haley treats approach selection as a conversation - she will work collaboratively with each person to find what fits their needs, goals, and daily life rather than imposing a single method.
The original profile does not list which exact online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in meetings when helpful, and remove commute time so therapy can happen between other responsibilities. These practical benefits can matter when managing family demands, caregiving work, or parenting commitments.
