About Dabney
Dabney Hayes is a licensed counselor with years of clinical experience and a steady focus on helping people change painful patterns. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials and brings 14 years of practice to sessions. Dabney listens for the worries beneath behavior and helps people take small steps toward feeling more capable.
She uses straightforward, practical work in session. That can mean learning skills to manage anxiety or trying new ways to respond when shame or perfectionism show up.
Background and approach
She blends evidence-informed methods to match the moment and the person rather than sticking to a single technique. Dabney often supports people coping with trauma, grief, addiction, depression, and stress from daily life. She also addresses intimacy and relationship concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and struggles with self-esteem.
Her background includes individual and group work across age ranges, and she draws on that variety to shape treatment plans. Sessions are conversational and grounded. Expect clear goals, skill-building, and check-ins about what is or isn’t helping.
Dabney aims to make therapy a practical space where a person can try new responses and notice small changes. She accepts international clients and sees people primarily from North Carolina. Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription-based model lets people schedule and cancel as needed.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being driven by them and then choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and struggles with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people develop safer ways of relating and expressing needs. This approach can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and relationship patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the work and is done together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges emerge so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and practice new interactions, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and messaging or live chat supports quick check-ins and ongoing coaching-style support. These options make scheduling easier for different routines and needs.
