About Heather
Heather Findley is a Licensed Master Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing LGBT-related issues, family conflict, life changes, and challenges common to first responders. Heather writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel heard from the first session.
She spends time building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what feels hardest. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Heather aims to make conversations clear and straightforward so progress feels tangible. With 12 years of experience in Michigan, Heather draws on what has worked for others while tailoring support to each person. She asks questions to clarify what matters most and helps create small, doable goals.
These goals are reviewed as work moves forward so plans stay relevant. Heather believes taking the first step toward change takes courage, and she offers steady support through that process. She works collaboratively, checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan when needed.
The overall goal is to help people find clearer ways to cope and move toward a more satisfying everyday life. Practical matters are discussed openly, including session format and scheduling. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Heather uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach helps people learn straightforward coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, pacing activities, and breaking problems into smaller steps so they feel more manageable. Another approach centers on improving relationships and resolving family conflict by teaching clearer communication, setting boundaries, and practicing how to bring up difficult topics calmly.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommends techniques that fit their situation. She reviews progress together and adjusts methods if something isn’t working as hoped.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or a busy life.
