About Heather

She uses approaches that teach practical skills for handling strong emotions and unhelpful thoughts. Sessions tend to include short, achievable steps and coaching-style feedback to build confidence and momentum.
How Heather works
Heather emphasizes clear communication and problem-solving when people are navigating separation, family of origin issues, or workplace stress. Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, anger, shame, and compassion fatigue in ways that prioritize pacing and safety. She supports people who are managing life transitions, midlife concerns, or the challenges of young adulthood.
Forgiveness, guilt, and isolation are discussed with direct questions and concrete strategies. Heather holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, in Texas and has five years of experience in clinical practice. She meets people where they are and focuses on what can be changed now.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time set aside to teach skills and check progress. People who want short-term coaching or longer-term therapy can expect a practical, skill-based approach. Heather helps each person identify next steps that fit their daily life and values.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online care
Heather commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people learn skills that change unhelpful thinking and reduce emotional reactivity. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and trying small behavior changes to improve mood and coping. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and find immediate steps that move a person forward. That approach looks for strengths and past successes to build a plan that feels doable. Heather works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and goals, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins and reminders. These options help clients fit therapy into busy lives and continue skill-building between meetings.
