How her approaches work in online therapy
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients can try new actions and see different results; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions, teaching simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These techniques can help with strong emotions, anger, and day-to-day overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If video is difficult, other session formats may offer a way to still connect without needing full screen time.
