Therapeutic approaches for online care

Heather uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a life that feels meaningful. ACT combines mindfulness with action-oriented strategies to address anxiety, stress, and difficulties with motivation.

She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and how early connections influence current intimacy and communication. This approach can be useful for clients working on relationship challenges, attachment issues, or repeated relational patterns.

Heather draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT provides concrete skills for managing symptoms of anxiety and low mood and for building confidence and problem-solving abilities.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to determine which techniques and combination of methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life. For many people, working with licensed professionals and therapists through these formats increases access to consistent support while allowing therapy to be scheduled around work, family, and other responsibilities.
