Online support options
Approach-driven online care for stress and trauma
Heather commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is practical and focused on real-life steps to feel better over days and weeks.She also draws on trauma-focused therapy and EMDR for people processing past traumatic events. Trauma-focused work emphasizes pacing, grounding skills, and targeted techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EMDR can be used as a tool within that work to help the mind reprocess distressing images and sensations.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Heather will discuss symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so it fits the person and their progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues for skills practice, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing skill reminders between longer sessions, helping tools stay useful in daily life.
