About Heather
Heather Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who focuses on anxiety, trauma, and depression. She uses a person-centered style that emphasizes listening and supporting each person’s goals. Heather aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and begin to sort through what feels most important to them.
She has four years of clinical experience and has worked extensively with children and adolescents before expanding to offer services for adults.
Background and approach
Common concerns she addresses include parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, grief, anger, and life transitions. She also helps people who are coping with ADHD, career stress, and relationship-related issues like codependency or attachment worries. In sessions she often shares practical resources and optional homework to help people practice new skills between meetings.
Those tools are offered at each person’s pace and can be adjusted to fit daily life. Heather follows a client-centered approach, so the direction of therapy is guided by each person’s needs and priorities. She blends motivational interviewing techniques to support change and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are getting in the way of present functioning.
That mix helps people set realistic goals, build coping strategies, and work toward greater stability. Heather communicates in English and provides appointments online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, someone fills out a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Heather uses client-centered therapy to focus on a person’s own goals and priorities. That approach means sessions are led by what matters most to the individual, with the therapist providing steady listening and reflection to help people make sense of their experiences.She also applies motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build practical steps toward those goals. This is useful for challenges like motivation, behavior change, and navigating career or parenting decisions. When trauma from the past is affecting present life, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address those memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions are collaborative and revisit progress over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone is useful when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or school while getting support.
