Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Heather Harris

Heather Harris integrates several evidence-based approaches to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to allow difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior; it can be useful for improving quality of life and managing persistent worry or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT centers on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and it is commonly used to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by building practical coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers strategies tailored to processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact, supporting recovery from events such as sexual assault, domestic violence, and military-related moral injury.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heather works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different models to create a personalized plan rather than relying on a single technique.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increase flexibility, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to access care from different locations. These formats support consistent engagement and allow Heather to offer responsive, collaborative care while adapting to each client's schedule and communication style.
