How Heather’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-worth, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Heather uses CBT exercises to teach practical coping skills, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build routines that improve mood and reduce stress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the impact of traumatic events and helps people process painful memories at a manageable pace. This approach can help with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault trauma, and outcomes of domestic violence.
Heather treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, check progress, and adjust the plan when needed.
Online therapy offers many practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and match therapy to a person’s schedule and needs.
