About Haley
Haley Hawkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of experience working in Utah. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Haley often addresses guilt and shame alongside related concerns such as attachment and abandonment.
Haley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in short, practical sessions. She speaks plainly about the feelings that lead people to withdraw or to blame themselves. Sessions tend to focus on clearer communication, coping skills, and small steps that make daily life more manageable.
Her background includes practice in Nevada and Utah as an LCSW, and she brings a Christian-informed perspective into many conversations when clients want that context. That perspective is offered as one element alongside clinical techniques to help clients examine values, purpose, and self-regard.
Haley often works with people coping with body image concerns, attachment issues, isolation, and the aftermath of abuse. She also supports those dealing with life purpose questions, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm risk through practical, paced work rather than quick fixes.
In sessions she aims to help clients notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and practice communication skills. The focus is on manageable steps toward feeling less stuck, and on reducing the weight of guilt and shame so daily choices feel less overwhelming.
Trying evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Haley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she draws on helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of thinking and behaving. This kind of work can reduce the persistent self-blame that often fuels guilt and shame.Another approach centers on attachment and relational patterns. It looks at how early relationships shape current responses and teaches clearer communication and boundary skills. This is useful when guilt or shame links to abandonment, blended family stress, or trouble trusting others.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Haley will work with each client to decide which approaches match their goals and daily life. She will check in and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking to a single plan.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when a quieter setup or less screen time is helpful. These practical options can make consistent work on guilt and shame more manageable within everyday routines.
