About Heather
Heather Diggs is a Licensed Master Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard and figure out next steps. Heather offers straightforward support and practical tools to manage strong emotions and difficult situations.
Heather works from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective. She focuses on what each person already brings to the process and builds on those abilities.
Background and approach
Sessions are geared toward concrete skills that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Her clinical background includes work in healthcare, behavioral health, and community settings. That experience shaped how she looks at the link between physical health, relationships, and emotional struggles.
Heather draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide care and to help clients set realistic goals. She has 14 years of experience helping people navigate recovery, manage anxiety, and cope with trauma and life transitions. Heather also supports concerns such as body image, communication problems, domestic violence, and substance use challenges.
Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at increasing resilience and clarity. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Heather practices in Michigan as an LMSW and helps clients work toward steady, manageable change.
Evidence-based tools for online support
Heather often uses cognitive behavioral approaches that help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach is practical and can reduce anxiety by teaching clearer ways to respond to stressful situations.Motivational techniques are another part of her work, helping people clarify what matters most and find personal reasons to change. These methods are useful for changing habits, addressing substance use, or moving through ambivalence about next steps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier with low bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or steady support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life.
