01About Heather
Heather Schmit is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and big life changes. She focuses on practical steps that improve daily coping, communication, and self-esteem so people can feel more in control. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at making therapy usable in real life.
Heather draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She often uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client and cognitive behavioral techniques to untangle unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are introduced when slowing down and grounding help reduce reactivity. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to help people understand and shift painful interaction patterns, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, for those processing trauma and abuse. These tools are chosen to match a person’s goals rather than imposed as a one-size-fits-all plan.
In sessions Heather emphasizes clear skills: better communication, managing intense feelings, improving sleep routines, and rebuilding trust in oneself. She supports parents dealing with caregiver stress and people coping with grief, career uncertainty, or compassion fatigue. Heather has six years of experience working with adults in Colorado and conducts therapy in English.
She works with clients on a subscription basis that can be canceled at any time, using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs.

04Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following what the client says matters most; the therapist reflects feelings and priorities so each person steers the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety alive and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which can help with mood, sleep, and work problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns and goals and suggest a mix of methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you will decide whether to focus on skill-building, emotional processing, or trauma-focused work like EMDR when it seems appropriate.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer session work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you need a simple check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, frequent check-ins and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep consistency while trying different approaches.
