About Dabney
Dabney Hayes is an LPCC and LPC practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and family-related patterns. She also supports people managing grief, compassion fatigue, bipolar symptoms, ADHD concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Dabney writes plainly with adults who see old family roles and expectations repeating in their lives. She describes treatment that looks at how those patterns affect behavior, choices, and relationships now. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and building steadier coping strategies.
Her background includes work in both individual and group settings across a wide range of concerns. Dabney helps people untangle shame, perfectionism, self-criticism, and lingering effects of trauma and abuse. She also addresses adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
In session she draws on several clinical approaches to match what a person needs. Those methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This mix is used to change unhelpful thoughts, manage strong emotions, and practice different ways of relating to others.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems driven by avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and behaviors. It can support people working through family of origin issues and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can evolve over time as progress and new needs become clear.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or keep appointments during work breaks.
