How her approaches translate to online therapy
Heather commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for sleep struggles, anxiety, and motivation issues. CBT breaks patterns of unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete skills for mood, sleep, and worry, often with brief exercises to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adapts tools and pacing to what the person prefers and what works in real life, so therapy stays practical and focused on change.
