Therapeutic approaches Heather May uses in online therapy

Heather draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and personal experience guide the work. This approach is helpful for people seeking a supportive environment to explore self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship or family of origin issues.

They also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often useful for managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and social anxiety.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool Heather applies when clients want help finding internal motivation for change. This collaborative method helps clarify values and build commitment to goals such as recovery from trauma-related symptoms, coping with life changes, or addressing avoidance.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Heather will work together with each person to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. The emphasis is on collaboration and adapting care as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around daily life and maintain continuity of care from different locations. These options can increase access to consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while accommodating varying communication styles and practical constraints.
