About Heather
Her work combines several methods to match each person's needs. She commonly uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, and dialectical behavior skills alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can try between meetings.
Heather has a broad clinical background that includes work with community agencies and correctional settings. She has supported people facing trauma, grief, substance concerns, chronic illness, and changes related to aging or injury. She also offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting strain.
In sessions she takes a practical, collaborative stance. She helps people identify patterns, learn coping skills, and set manageable steps for change. Heather adapts techniques to the person in front of her rather than following a single formula.
People who prefer straightforward, skills-based work tend to do well with her style. She welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and also accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options to make sure they fit each person's needs.

How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. Online sessions use that same attention to build trust and help clients talk through difficult topics.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In online sessions CBT often includes homework and simple skill practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools can be practiced in real life and reviewed in sessions to track progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Heather works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That collaborative planning can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people keep continuity of care across locations. Confirm the specific session options offered before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
