How Heather's Approaches Work Online
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thought patterns that fuel stress or anger and to replace them with more helpful actions. CBT focuses on practical exercises and simple experiments you can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving.She also includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel intense. DBT techniques teach breathing and grounding, emotion regulation, and clear communication skills so people can respond differently in high-stress moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods as progress unfolds. The first few sessions are often used to set goals and try techniques that fit your daily routine.
Online therapy with Heather is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face for deeper conversation, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or a focused single-topic session during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during work, parenting, or other life demands.
