About Heather
Heather Engle is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Heather focuses on common, painful struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, and anger.
She aims to make it easier for people to talk about what’s hard and to take the first step toward feeling better. Heather uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and anger.
Background and approach
She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to teach simple ways to stay present and lower emotional intensity. For people with trauma or distressing memories, Heather offers trauma-focused methods and can use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate to reduce the hold of traumatic memories. She pairs these approaches with Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help clients manage overwhelming emotions and improve self-control.
Heather works with concerns related to communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, self-love, and social anxiety. She helps people build confidence and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions are framed around practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Heather encourages honest conversation and helps people try small changes between sessions. She supports clients as they practice new skills and check progress over time.

Online approaches that help manage strong emotions
Heather commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try clearer, calmer ways of thinking; this approach is useful for anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She also uses trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to lessen the intensity of traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend techniques to try first. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is working and what feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and keep care consistent across day-to-day schedules.
