Background and approach

She speaks English and provides care only within the United States. People who choose her work with a therapist who listens closely and adapts methods to fit each situation. The emphasis is on clear, manageable changes rather than long lists of theory.
Her approach is aimed at practical progress for the concerns people bring.
How Heidi’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy puts the client’s priorities first and focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration. It helps people clarify what matters most and guides each session by their goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and to build new daily habits for stress, anxiety, sleep, and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heidi will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting techniques and pacing so the work feels helpful and manageable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families and individuals. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make scheduling easier and help maintain continuity of care around work and family life.
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.
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.
