About Heather

Background and approach

Heather also addresses communication problems, depression, and self-love work. Her background includes life coaching alongside clinical work, so she mixes skill-building with reflective conversation. In practice she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals.

Mindfulness strategies are used to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Heather also uses client-centered and psychodynamic elements when it helps to understand deeper patterns. Clients can expect someone who listens for what is said and what is not said, then offers observations to move forward.

Heather aims to turn obstacles into steps toward a life someone wants to build. She works with people to create concrete plans and to practice new habits between sessions. Heather is based in Utah and brings a calm, encouraging style to each meeting.

Her approach is practical and tailored, focused on small, steady changes that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy starts by following the person's lead and building a respectful, accepting space to talk through what matters most. It helps when someone needs a therapist who listens closely and supports them in setting their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns; it often includes concrete homework and tracking between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, useful for stress and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She may combine approaches over time, adjusting the plan based on what works and what doesn’t. The focus is on practical steps and steady progress rather than one fixed method.

Online sessions make that collaboration flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier for those with limited space. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy family routines and manage care from locations across Utah.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
