In sessions she talks through specific problems, practices skills together, and helps set small, achievable steps between meetings. Parents can expect straightforward tools for managing behavior, stress, and family dynamics.

How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Heather blends cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices into online sessions. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and ADHD-related routines. Mindfulness practices emphasize simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life, adapting methods as progress is made. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps and skills practice between meetings so the work carries over into real life.
Online therapy with Heather is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, quick problem-solving, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
