About Heather
Heather Caiazzo is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 29 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. She focuses on building coping skills and boosting self-esteem so people can feel more steady day to day. Her approach starts by listening carefully to each person's story and strengths.
Heather treats the person as the expert in their life and works alongside them to set practical goals.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize concrete tools that can be used between meetings, not just talk in the room. Heather uses a mix of methods depending on what a person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and emotionally focused ideas to improve connection and emotional awareness.
She also uses EMDR for processing trauma and the Gottman Method for relationship work when appropriate. She has helped people with body image, social anxiety and phobia, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. Heather also supports work around guilt, shame, forgiveness, and finding a sense of life purpose and self-love.
Practicing in Florida and licensed as an LMFT in Florida and California, Heather offers practical steps toward change. She encourages small, manageable shifts that add up over time and helps people find ways to stay motivated between sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered work focuses on understanding a person's story and strengths, offering support and collaboration to set realistic goals and build coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which works well over video or messaging. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process painful memories and can be adapted to online sessions when appropriate and agreed on together.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather will discuss goals, preferences, and how comfortable a person feels with different methods, and then make a plan together that can change as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match the method to the problem and to the client's pace.
Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expressions and have longer sessions, phone work can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging allows short updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work consistently over time.
