About Heather
Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings three years of LPC practice alongside a long history of community work and agency involvement. Heather focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more able to manage daily demands.
She prefers a straightforward, client-centered style. Sessions usually begin by looking at what matters most to the person and which problems are getting in the way.
Background and approach
Heather uses cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful, and she tailors each session to the client's needs and goals. Parents and caregivers will find her direct approach useful for hard, everyday problems such as sleep, eating, grief, and stress tied to caregiving or aging.
Heather also supports people working through trauma, addictions, mood struggles, panic, and ADHD-related challenges by focusing on concrete coping plans and skill building. Her work with community agencies, corrections, and rehabilitation settings informs how she structures conversations about change and recovery. She combines motivational interviewing-style questions with practical problem-solving to help people move forward at their own pace.
Heather communicates plainly and checks in often about progress. She encourages people to try small experiments between sessions and to adjust plans when life gets in the way. Those who want clear steps, steady support, and a focus on solutions will likely feel comfortable with her approach.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Heather uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's goals and priorities, creating a space where the therapist follows the client's lead and builds plans from what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what is working. That way the therapy style evolves with progress and changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges during busy days. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on practical steps and skill practice.
