Approaches that translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and aims to create a listening space where concerns are heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs to sort feelings, make sense of a difficult time, or find direction without feeling judged.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses short experiments and practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and coping, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to health challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs and daily routines. That choice can shift over time as priorities change.

The site biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can support steady skill-building and follow-through between appointments without promising a specific format.
