How Heather's Approaches Guide Online Care

Heather commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering acceptance and empathy while clients decide the pace and goals.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about their goals, comfort level, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they will try methods that match those needs and adjust as work progresses so the approach stays useful and relevant.
