About Heather
Heather Toby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical therapy methods to help people move forward. She focuses on concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationships, intimacy, eating issues, parenting, career worries, and coping with life changes. Heather practices in Texas and works in English.
Heather blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she talks through what matters most to each person and helps build small, doable steps toward change.
How Heather works
She frames goals around values and daily habits rather than only symptoms. Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations to individual needs.
Heather also integrates coaching elements to support practical problem solving and skill building. She can include faith-based perspectives when that fits a person's beliefs and goals. That option is offered alongside more secular techniques so people can choose what suits them.
Heather draws on eight years of counseling work in varied settings across Texas. People can expect straightforward, actionable strategies in a supportive atmosphere. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, improving self-love, handling blended family or family conflicts, and managing career or parenting stress.
The work centers on what someone wants to change and how to get there.

Online support options
Using ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and build emotional balance, which can support stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Heather will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer dialogue, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed, and chat or text can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
