How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's goals. Online sessions let the therapist and client focus on what matters most, with the therapist reflecting concerns and helping prioritize change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and gives clear exercises to practice between sessions; this format works well for homework, thought records, and short behavior experiments that can be done between meetings.

Heather uses DBT skills and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and impulsivity. These approaches teach concrete strategies for managing strong feelings and urges, and they can be practiced during and after sessions so clients build steady skills over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Heather adjusts techniques based on what helps and what feels doable for the client.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain regular appointments. Online work also supports consistent practice of techniques between sessions and lets clients try homework tasks that connect directly to daily life.
