About Heather
Heather Raitz is a licensed social worker in Michigan who helps people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She brings ten years of professional experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to conversations about goals and next steps. Heather uses a tailored approach.
Sessions focus on what matters most to each person, whether that is managing panic attacks, building confidence, or coping with big transitions. She also supports people working through ADHD challenges and those who want executive or professional coaching-style guidance.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes respect and sensitivity. Heather listens first and adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. She aims to make the process feel like a partnership rather than a lecture.
Clinical tools Heather uses include attachment-based ideas that look at how relationships shape feeling safe and connected, client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals at the center, and EMDR for people processing traumatic memories. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform her sessions when helpful. Heather’s style is practical and encouraging.
She helps people break concerns into manageable steps and practices skills between meetings. The aim is to build confidence and steady coping over time so daily life becomes easier to handle.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape reactions to stress and anxiety; it helps people notice patterns in how they relate and try new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist following the client’s pace and priorities. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a structured method used to process distressing memories so they feel less disruptive in daily life.Choosing the right approach happens together. Heather will listen to your concerns, discuss which methods might help, and adjust plans based on your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can combine approaches as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your routine. Video can allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep appointments around work, family duties, or travel while still focusing on steady progress.
