About Heather
Heather’s style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and compassion and aims to help them name strengths and build skills they can use day to day. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to reduce stress, manage mood, and improve communication.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take committed action toward those values. Client-centered methods create space for people to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports.
Heather also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals and build momentum between sessions. She often works with concerns such as postpartum depression, anxiety, panic, grief, relationship strain, body image, and compassion fatigue.
Her aim is to help clients feel more effective in daily life. That can mean better coping skills, clearer communication, or small behavior changes that add up. If someone is ready to begin, Heather guides the intake steps and scheduling so the process is straightforward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or depression. It often includes homework exercises to practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, using empathic listening and reflection so clients can lead the pace and content of work.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Heather works collaboratively to identify methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine techniques so sessions feel practical and relevant to everyday life.
The therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches like CBT benefit from exercises done between sessions, which work well with remote appointments. Talk with Heather during the matching process about the best format and length to fit your routine and treatment goals.
