How Heather’s Approaches Work Online

Heather uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then try different behaviors to reduce distress. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help with motivation, chronic stress, and decisions about meaningful life directions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and suggest techniques to try. You and she will plan what fits your needs and adjust the approach as progress unfolds.
