Online session options
Narrative and Acceptance-based Care Online
Heather draws on Narrative approaches to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Narrative work looks at how life events are described, opens space for alternate meanings, and helps people choose different directions when a story feels stuck.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching simple skills for noticing thoughts and moving toward what matters.
Finding the right fit is a team effort. Heather will discuss different ways of working and help decide which approach or mix of approaches suits a person's goals and preferences. That process happens together, with attention to comfort, timing, and practical needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and reading facial cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, or other commitments.
