About Heather
Heather Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people recover from trauma and rebuild confidence. She works with issues like anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her style is warm and down-to-earth so people can feel heard as they talk through difficult experiences.
She uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's own goals first. In sessions Heather listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can name what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She also uses trauma-focused methods to address memories and reactions that keep people feeling stuck. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for people facing ambivalence about change. Those techniques help break big goals into smaller, doable steps and build momentum.
Heather commonly shares optional resources and short exercises to practice between sessions when those feel helpful. Her background includes four years of clinical experience, with much of that time working with children and adolescents and expanding into adult services. She holds an LPC license in Idaho and provides services in English.
Heather aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can explore painful topics at their own pace. She partners with clients to set goals, try practical strategies, and track progress over time. The work is collaborative and focused on real-life improvements that matter to each person.
Client-centered and trauma-informed care online
Heather uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping clarify goals. This approach works well for people who need time to name their priorities and make a plan.She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of past abuse or overwhelming events. These methods help people reduce distressing reactions and build skills to manage triggers and memories. Motivational interviewing is included when someone feels unsure about change; it helps turn uncertainty into clear, manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Heather will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. The plan can change over time to match what’s most helpful in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, homework review, or flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
