How Heather’s Approaches Work Online

Heather commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally focused methods in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name feelings and then change interaction patterns that keep them stuck, which can be useful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and day-to-day life and then suggest approaches to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is lower, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and exercises between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
