Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is most pressing and what can change in daily life. Her work blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. That means clients talk through their immediate struggles and also try specific steps to reduce symptoms and improve routines.
Motivational interviewing is used when change feels difficult or motivation is mixed. Heather has helped people cope with the impact of abuse, adoption and foster care histories, family of origin issues, seasonal mood shifts, and challenges common to young adulthood and women’s health. She explains options plainly and checks in about what is working.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. Heather supports clients through practical problem solving, coping strategies, and planning small experiments between sessions. Her goal is to help people find clearer routines, steadier mood, and more confidence managing day-to-day demands.
Approaches and online support that fit your life
Heather blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and overwhelm.She also uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure about change. That approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds small steps that feel doable. Heather treats choosing a method as a collaborative process and will work with each person to find what fits their needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills work and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is low or a quieter option. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, check-ins between sessions, or when someone prefers written communication. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family demands.
