How her approaches guide online therapy
Heather uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve everyday functioning. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take meaningful action even when emotions are uncomfortable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather treats therapy as a team effort and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is revisited over time as goals and circumstances change.
Her practice offers 45-minute live sessions and messaging for extra support, with daily, evening, and weekend scheduling options noted. Because formats can vary, confirm the exact session types available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time so people can use breaks more efficiently.
