Heather pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin, codependency, and communication problems. In sessions she helps people set clear goals and tries simple, concrete strategies first. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can change when needed.

How Heather’s Approaches Work Online
Heather often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting each person’s own goals and pace.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach concrete skills for anxiety and stress. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms and improve sleep and daily functioning.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel and support consistent follow-through.
