Hayley McLemore, LCSW

Hayley McLemore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience based in California. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and struggles related to addiction, trauma, grief, anger, and major life changes.

Hayley helps people who find themselves habitually putting others first, feeling stuck in patterns around relationships, or coping with someone else’s drinking or crisis. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, communication problems, isolation, and issues with trust and attachment.

In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and commit to actions that matter to them. She also uses Client-Centered methods and Motivational Interviewing to encourage practical steps and clearer decisions. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress.

Her style is straightforward and focused on real-life changes. She works with each person to identify what feels most urgent and what steps are possible right now. Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings, trying out small behavior changes, and checking what worked between meetings.

Hayley offers services in English and American Sign Language. She accepts clients from multiple locations including international clients. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
