How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Heather commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small actions that match what matters to them. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation struggles.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed distress and to practice different behaviors. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addiction-related habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels workable in daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or chat work well for brief check-ins, homework, or coaching-style support between sessions. These options aim to fit therapy into busy routines and varied circumstances.
