About Heather
Heather Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles. She also addresses self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, and challenges tied to chronic illness and pain. Heather works with clients who want practical tools as well as space to talk through hard emotions.
Heather draws on several approaches to shape each person’s plan. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the client's perspective and lived experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supply concrete skills for managing thoughts, feelings, and reactions. She also brings Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness techniques into the work when they fit the goals.
In sessions she aims to be warm, direct, and respectful of each person's background and beliefs. She helps people trace where symptoms began and practice new skills between visits. The therapist treats clients as the experts in their own lives and offers guidance tailored to individual goals.
Heather has six years of counseling experience and works from a viewpoint that honors cultural and spiritual differences. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including family and parenting questions, communication problems, codependency, anger, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation. She emphasizes practical change alongside emotional understanding.
If someone wants to begin, Heather asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The subscription used for sessions may be canceled at any time.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to the client's experience and following their lead. Online sessions using this approach focus on creating space for people to describe what matters most and to set goals that feel relevant to their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work CBT often includes short between-session exercises, thought records, and practical homework to try in everyday situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings attention to skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Delivered online, DBT skills can be practiced in session and applied to relationship or impulse-control challenges between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow focused skill practice between meetings. It also lets people meet with a licensed professional from their usual routines while tailoring scheduling to work and family life.
