About Heather
Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and works with a wide range of concerns including trauma, depression, and coping with life changes. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to handle everyday struggles.
Heather uses an individualized approach that draws on familiar methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening.
Background and approach
Sessions start with the issues that feel most pressing and then build simple skills for managing emotions and behavior. She pays attention to trauma history and to how health or aging can change daily life. She has three years of formal counseling experience and additional background supporting people in community and correctional settings.
That mix gives her perspective on how stress, caregiving, chronic illness, and substance concerns affect routine functioning. Heather also notes work with people facing grief, bipolar challenges, panic, and traumatic brain injury. In sessions she often uses short, goal-focused exercises alongside longer conversations.
That can include problem-solving steps, parts of dialectical skill work, and motivational talking that helps people clarify what they want to change. The methods are chosen to match each person’s needs and pace. Heather offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make sessions fit into busy lives.
How Heather’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and building a supportive relationship. In practice this means Heather listens closely and mirrors what matters to the person, then helps set goals that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches simple skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and pace. If one approach doesn’t fit, she adapts the plan and mixes techniques until the work feels useful and manageable.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports brief updates between sessions. These options help people maintain steady progress while fitting therapy into a busy life.
