How Heather’s Approaches Shape Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to build trust and clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting them over time to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video calls let people see facial cues and use exercises that work best on camera. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on screen. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and written reflections that can be reviewed later. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and practicing skills between meetings.
