About

Dr. Heather Gillman is a licensed psychologist in New York with 28 years of professional practice. Her clinical work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family issues, eating and body image concerns, and matters related to sexuality and intimacy. She also works with grief, parenting challenges, and problems such as social anxiety and panic attacks.

Gillman brings an active, engaged style to sessions rather than a quiet, observer stance. She offers interpretations and interventions drawn from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and Jungian perspectives. That combination supports both skills-based work and exploration of deeper themes and meaning.

Clients who are feeling stuck, empty, or overwhelmed may encounter a collaborative process focused on clarification of patterns and development of practical strategies. Gillman’s stated interests include work with the LGBTQ community and couples, as well as focused attention on communication problems, shame and guilt, self-esteem, and life purpose. Her practice is oriented toward developing clearer understanding and new ways of coping within the therapeutic relationship.

Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches



Dr. Heather Gillman offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to conduct assessment, skill practice, and ongoing psychotherapy conversations. Communication options are presented so that clients can select the mode that best fits their needs and circumstances.

Her clinical approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address patterns of thinking, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness in practical, skills-oriented ways. Client-centered therapy is used to maintain an empathic, collaborative relationship and to center the client’s experience. Jungian therapy is available for those interested in exploring symbolism, personal meaning, and deeper layers of the psyche. Together these methods allow for both structured interventions and more exploratory work.

Clients who prefer concrete skill building may find CBT or DBT approaches a good match, while those wanting reflective exploration may connect with Jungian themes within a client-centered stance. Video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging are offered for sessions and check-ins.
