Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Heather integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices in online and phone-based formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is described as a way to clarify personal values and notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms and stress. Mindfulness practices are offered to cultivate present-moment awareness and to support emotion regulation.
These approaches are presented in a collaborative, client-centered way: the therapist works with each person to set goals, choose techniques that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions can include experiential exercises, values clarification, homework strategies, and conversation about emotions and relationships.
Heather offers sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the communication method that best fits their needs and circumstances.
