Heather Horvath, LPC

Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings three years of LPC experience and a long history of community work to sessions. Heather believes people’s life stories matter and that focused conversation can help with clearer coping and steady change.

She listens first and shapes goals with each person. Heather blends practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered skills. Sessions emphasize understandable tools for anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and grief.

Heather also draws on methods that address emotional regulation and relationships. She uses elements from dialectical behavior skills and motivational interviewing to support decision-making and coping. The Gottman Method is used when relationship communication is a main focus.

Many people seek her help for chronic health challenges, caregiver strain, or life changes that follow injury or illness. She works with concerns including trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic, bipolar-related struggles, addiction, and sleep or eating problems.

Her background includes years of work with community agencies, corrections, and geriatric mental health consultation. That experience informs how she supports people facing complex needs, co-morbidity, and recovery after brain injury. Heather aims for practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and Heather can work with international clients. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling so arrangements match each person’s needs.

How Heather’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and working from each person’s goals. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist follows what matters most to the client and helps decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be taught and practiced in remote sessions to help manage intense emotions and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in and adjust techniques as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and let people fit sessions into a busy day. It also allows practical follow-up such as trying new skills between meetings and discussing how they went at the next session.
