About Heather

Heather Schmit is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals who are navigating life changes, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Heather keeps language clear and practical so parents and caregivers can quickly understand options and next steps.

Heather uses straightforward, skill-based work to build stronger coping and communication. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with emotion-focused strategies and mindfulness tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Background and approach

Sessions often include practice exercises and simple tools to use between meetings. Her training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she uses when trauma memories are part of the picture. She also draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s values and goals.

That mix helps address things like caregiver stress, attachment concerns, codependency, and social anxiety. Heather has six years of clinical experience and holds an LPC license in Colorado (CO LPC LPC.0017902). She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients.

Her style is collaborative and practical, aiming to make emotional work manageable for busy parents. For people looking to start, Heather asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy sessions are provided via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on client preference and subscription details.

Online approaches that meet parents where they are

Heather commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT often includes short exercises and homework to practice skills between sessions.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and express underlying emotions that affect relationships and connection. EFT work focuses on moments of interaction and learning new ways to communicate needs and feelings.

Heather sees finding the right approach as a team effort. During early sessions she will listen to priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. The goal is a clear, practical path that fits each person’s life and goals.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let people choose how and when to connect, which can make regular work on stress, parenting, or trauma-related concerns easier to keep up. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and assign short between-session practices that fit busy schedules.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
