How her approaches translate to online care

Heather often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face and to rewrite unhelpful life stories. That approach is useful for concerns like shame, identity questions, and family of origin issues because it focuses on meaning and personal narrative.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective and pace. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she draws on to identify and change thought and behavior patterns tied to anxiety and mood concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to decide what methods fit best based on their goals, comfort level, and progress. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays aligned with what the client needs.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people access therapy from different places and times.
