About Heather
Heather Schmit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with six years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and other life changes.
She helps people build better coping and communication skills. That can look like learning ways to manage strong emotions, practicing clearer conversations, or developing routines that support sleep and daily functioning. Heather also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress.
Her work uses practical, evidence-based methods. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, such as thought reframing, emotion regulation exercises, and techniques to improve connection with others. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s priorities central to the work.
Heather incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness practices when appropriate. That combination is used to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns, including attachment concerns, codependency, and post-traumatic stress.
People who come for help often want clearer boundaries, steadier moods, or better communication with a partner or parent. Heather aims to help clients notice what gets in the way of those goals and practice concrete steps to change. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching and scheduling flow to arrange an initial session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s goals and perspective, with the therapist following the person’s lead and reflecting what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a steady listener who helps clarify priorities and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday coping struggles because it gives concrete tools to practice between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name patterns in how they react and connect with others. This approach is useful for improving communication and addressing intimacy-related concerns by shifting emotional responses over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as needed, keeping the process collaborative.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during a workday or between obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt skills work, exposure tasks, and EMDR or mindfulness practices to remote sessions when appropriate, and they will discuss practical logistics with each client at intake.
