How Heather’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. It listens closely and helps people find their own solutions to problems like relationship strain, low self-esteem, or life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with intense emotions and anger.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers several convenient ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick touchpoints and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
