How Heather’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then act in ways that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. It often helps with anxiety, obsessive thinking, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance where the therapist follows the person’s lead to help them find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Heather will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Over early sessions she adjusts tools and techniques so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single style.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into work, family, or travel routines.
