Sessions typically emphasize clear goals and small, achievable steps. Heather aims to make therapy feel useful from the start by suggesting skills to try between meetings and by checking progress in concrete ways. Her approach is direct but warm, helping people build confidence over time.

How Heather Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Heather blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make concrete changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and shaping sessions around each person’s needs, which helps create trust and clearer goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and teaches practical skills to change them.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT techniques include simple behavior strategies and grounding skills that people can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity and impulsive actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of methods fits their goals and daily life. This means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so it feels useful and realistic.
