How Heather’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful connection. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify goals; this approach supports healing from relationship wounds, grief, and identity questions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is practical and action-oriented. It looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches specific skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing urges tied to addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and pace. She will review what’s working and change direction when needed so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging makes it easy to share between sessions. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, steady progress, and continued support across life’s demands.
