Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and live more in line with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. It often helps with stress, anxiety, and workplace concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heidi will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and preferences and then try methods that seem most helpful. She checks in and adjusts the approach as needed so therapy fits the individual's pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is preferable. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates or ask quick questions between sessions and can fit into busy days or work breaks. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, and family demands.
