Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also brings mindfulness practices to help people calm their minds and notice what matters most. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is one of the approaches Heather includes for people working through traumatic memories.
She integrates it with other methods when it fits a client’s goals and readiness. Sessions focus on what the client needs now, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Heather has six years of clinical experience and holds an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, in Colorado.
Her work often centers on attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress concerns. She also supports people dealing with forgiveness, life purpose, and workplace difficulties. Her style is down-to-earth and goal-focused.
She helps people build clearer communication, stronger boundaries, and better self-care. The aim is steady progress you can notice in daily life.

Online support
How Heather’s Approaches Work Online
Heather often combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the client’s needs and priorities, so sessions focus on what feels most important that week. Cognitive behavioral therapy uses clear, practical steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which works well on video or over the phone.She also uses EMDR, which is a way to process traumatic memories while tracking movement or attention. When EMDR is a fit, Heather integrates it carefully and at the client’s pace, adapting techniques to work through a screen or in other remote formats. Choosing which approach to use happens together; Heather helps clients decide based on their goals, comfort, and how they respond in early sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy days and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit tighter schedules or lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into work, family, and daily life.
