01About Heather
Heather Hunter is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people recover from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, and build stronger self-esteem. She works with parents and adults facing life changes, grief, anger, and stress. Clients also consult her about career concerns, ADHD, and parenting challenges.
Heather uses a person-centered way of working. She listens first and follows each person's priorities. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels right for the client.
Background and approach
She often offers practical resources and short activities to try between sessions. Her background includes four years of clinical experience, during which she worked extensively with children and adolescents and has expanded to offer services for adults. That experience informs how she supports attachment issues, adoption and foster care questions, and difficulties tied to abandonment or isolation.
Heather also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, dissociation, and impulse control. She addresses relational patterns like jealousy and dependent or avoidant personality traits. When relevant, she brings focus to forgiveness, guilt, and shame work in simple, step-by-step ways.
In sessions clients can expect straightforward conversation, shared goal-setting, and optional tools to practice between meetings. Heather aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where individuals can name what matters and take manageable steps forward.

How Heather’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people name what matters and set practical goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes.Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Sessions use open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like adjusting routines, parenting strategies, or work goals.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences in a paced way. It helps people reduce the hold of painful memories and learn new coping skills for stress, anger, and dissociation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people connect face to face. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when walking and talking helps. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick tools, or ongoing support between meetings. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum toward their goals.
