About Heidi
Heidi Herrick-Lynn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She brings 27 years of counseling experience and aims to make therapy a practical, hopeful part of a person’s routine. Heidi offers sessions during weekday evenings and weekends to fit into busy schedules.
Her work centers on a client-centered approach that puts the person's goals and pace first. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change. Heidi also draws on Solution-Focused and psychodynamic ideas when they suit the situation.
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with sleep and rest problems, parenting challenges, obsessions and compulsions, and people in polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and are held with the goal of working collaboratively on clear, achievable steps. Heidi aims to keep language straightforward and to use tools that can be practiced between sessions. She prioritizes helping people build coping skills and improve daily functioning.
She has longstanding clinical experience across settings and brings practical techniques along with reflective listening. Prospective clients in New Jersey can expect a straightforward conversation about goals, then a plan tailored to their situation and schedule.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, shows empathy, and helps clarify goals so sessions feel relevant and respectful. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk through worries and make plans.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep disturbance. CBT works well when someone wants clear tools to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved relationships. It can be useful for people who need structured coping strategies alongside open conversation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new issues arise.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since current options are not specified here. Many people appreciate online therapy for fitting sessions into busy days, reducing commute time, and allowing evening or weekend appointments. It can make regular follow-up and practicing new skills easier to maintain alongside daily responsibilities.
