Background and approach
She combines listening with clear goal-setting to help people move forward. Heather uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and acceptance-focused ideas. She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy and hypnotherapy when those fit the situation.
Sessions usually blend skills practice, emotional processing, and concrete problem-solving. Her background includes a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington and earlier study in biology and psychophysiology. That mix informs a thoughtful, evidence-aware practice that stays grounded in everyday life.
Heather lives in Colorado and enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, gardening, and caring for animals. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to learn who each person is before suggesting next steps.
How Heather's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions that feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping with everyday stressors.
Heather treats approach selection as a team effort. She listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit the problem and the person. Clients and therapist adjust course together as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to meet that can fit different routines. Video calls let people work face-to-face from a distance. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care while balancing work, family, or health needs.
