Background and approach

Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and manageable for busy parents and adults who need quick, useful tools. Her sessions often center on building skills to handle anxiety, anger, grief, and career or workplace stress. She also addresses family dynamics such as communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, and parenting challenges.

Heather uses straightforward techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Heather draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to meet practical goals. She prioritizes what the person in front of her says matters most and adapts the approach to those goals.

Expect clear suggestions, small homework tasks, and chances to practice new skills between sessions. Her style is supportive and goal-oriented. Heather helps clients break big problems into smaller steps.

She encourages realistic progress and offers coaching-style feedback alongside counseling work.

Online approaches that focus on skills and solutions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress, and includes simple exercises to try between sessions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It includes breathing and grounding techniques and practical steps to reduce impulsive reactions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what already works. It helps set clear goals and build on strengths rather than dwelling on problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made, so the plan can change over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling flexible. These options let people connect from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and keep momentum between meetings. The format makes it easier to practice skills in real life and to check in when needs shift.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
