Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Heather Lukach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills to challenge negative thoughts and build coping strategies, which can be useful for mood disorders, stress, and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Heather works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time so treatment remains responsive and relevant.
Online therapy with Heather is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations within Wisconsin. These options provide flexibility for ongoing work on symptom management, relationship issues, grief, addiction recovery, or caregiver stress while maintaining continuity of care with a trained therapist.
