How sessions work
How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Heather uses client-centered care to follow what matters most to each person. This approach means sessions begin by listening to current concerns and priorities, then shaping the work around those goals. It works well for relationship strain, parenting stress, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood-related problems by teaching practical exercises to use between sessions. Mindfulness techniques help people notice reactions and reduce reactivity during tense moments at home or work.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Heather will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on what fits the client's goals and preferences. She works with clients to set short-term targets and review progress together.
