How Heather’s Approaches Work Online
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on practical changes you can test between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and to strengthen their own motivation. That method is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, concrete goals and notice what improves quickly, which works well for career questions, coping with life changes, and midlife crisis concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans as progress is made.
