She values compassion, sensitivity, and practical progress. People who choose Heidi typically want a listening clinician who also offers concrete strategies.

How Heidi's Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. In sessions the therapist reflects concerns, helps set priorities, and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood management. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help with intense emotions and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Heidi will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and goals. She adjusts methods over time based on progress and feedback so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health demands.
