About Heidi
Heidi Herrick-Lynn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She brings 27 years of counseling experience and a calm, client-centered manner to sessions. Heidi aims to make therapy a manageable part of a busy life and focuses on practical steps a person can use between meetings.
Her work emphasizes helping people cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strains, intimacy questions, parenting pressures, family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and life transitions. Additional focus areas include obsessions, compulsions, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) related concerns, and polyamory or non-monogamous relationship questions.
Heidi often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central needs. Motivational Interviewing and client-centered techniques help shape goals and keep sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
She previously held licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts and now practices under her New Jersey LPC credential. Heidi schedules sessions during weekday evenings and weekends to fit varied routines. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions aim to build small, workable changes and to help people find clearer paths through hard moments.
How Heidi's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Heidi commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's goals and concerns, helping them feel heard while deciding what to focus on next. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when intense emotions or stress management are important. DBT skills teach grounding, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance techniques that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what works best for the individual's needs and preferences.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The main practical benefits of remote sessions include easier scheduling around work and family life, the ability to meet without travel time, and the option for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice new skills in day-to-day situations and to keep therapy consistent during busy periods. Licensed professionals can help tailor the pace and tools so therapy fits into everyday routines.
