Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Heather draws from several evidence-based approaches to guide online work with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and shifting behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance to help manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and reduce rumination. Trauma-Focused Therapy is designed to address the impacts of traumatic experiences by helping clients process distressing memories and build coping skills to manage post-traumatic symptoms and related challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Heather works collaboratively with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors interventions so the work feels relevant and doable. Together the client and therapist evaluate progress and adjust the plan as needed to find the best fit.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking care. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction when an in-person visit is not possible, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible options for busy schedules or different comfort levels. These modalities can increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain consistent engagement in treatment with licensed professionals and therapists who support the client's goals.
