She often notices how resilience shows up in small steps and daily routines. Heather uses Narrative and client-centered approaches to help people tell and reshape the stories that guide their choices.
She also integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and tools from dialectical behavior therapy when practical skills are needed to manage emotions and behavior.

How narrative and skill-based therapy work online
Heather often combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and rewrite those stories in ways that support change and healthier choices. Client-centered care focuses on listening, empathy, and understanding what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, adds practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Heather works with each person to see which methods fit their goals and daily life. She may use narrative conversations to shift meaning, then add CBT or DBT skills for emotion regulation or behavior changes when those tools help reach concrete goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling school, work, or parenting. Video calls let the therapist and client connect face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or when written communication feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in real time.
