About Heather
Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She brings three years of clinical experience to conversations about anger, anxiety, depression, loss, and coping with major transitions. Heather works with adults who want practical skills and clearer thinking to handle daily stressors.
She aims for short, clear goals that match each person’s needs. Sessions blend listening with hands-on tools from cognitive behavioral and client-centered approaches.
Background and approach
Heather also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when they fit the situation. Her background includes work in community settings, corrections, and agencies that support people facing complex life challenges. That experience informs how she helps clients manage grief, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic health issues, and substance-related concerns.
Heather is comfortable addressing issues tied to identity, relationships, parenting, and work-related burnout. In sessions she focuses on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing patterns that worsen mood or anger. She helps people break problems into smaller steps and practice new responses between appointments.
Heather involves clients in choosing methods so therapy feels useful and realistic. Heather provides care from Michigan and offers work with international clients in English. She uses formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Heather commonly uses client-centered therapy to make sessions focused on each person’s goals. This approach means the therapist listens closely and helps clients name what matters most, so goals and pacing come from the client.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves trying specific exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that prioritizes what works for the individual.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions help when a video setup is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing practice between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match both schedule and style.
