Background and approach
Mindfulness and grounding practices are woven into her work to help people regulate intense emotions. She often pairs short exercises with real-world experiments clients can try between sessions. This mix aims to create steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Heather brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her background includes supporting people through motivation challenges, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and issues related to self-love and women's concerns. She believes clients hold important strengths and works to make those strengths more visible.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Heather encourages practical homework, clear goal setting, and regular check-ins on progress. The focus is on building skills that help clients cope with everyday stressors and long-term mood difficulties.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and gentle guidance while encouraging clients to lead conversations about their goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It suits anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday stress by providing tools to change thinking patterns and test new actions. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to immediate goals and small steps that create quick momentum toward change.
Heather treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit best. Adjustments are normal and expected as progress and comfort guide the plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle quick check-ins, and choose formats that suit energy levels and practical needs.
