Therapeutic approaches and online care

Heather frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and building actions that align with those values even when feelings are uncomfortable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will review your goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits your needs and preferences. The collaboration helps find what feels most useful for your situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat enables shorter check-ins during a busy day, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping focus on practical skill-building and recovery.
