Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Heather commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR-informed work in online sessions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. EMDR-informed strategies address traumatic memories by combining focused attention with guided processing to reduce distress around painful events.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to ensure the work fits each person. That means she listens first, follows your priorities, and adjusts methods as you go. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches to try based on goals, comfort, and what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, and practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
