Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Heather uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, accepting space where the client's experience guides the work - this approach helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and strengthen their ability to make meaningful choices.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT can be especially useful for clients seeking structured techniques and measurable progress.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) is another approach she employs for relationship and family concerns; EFT helps people understand emotional patterns, improve communication, and rebuild secure connections with important others.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors methods accordingly so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, coordinate sessions outside typical work hours, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
