About Heather
Heather Engle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Heather also works with communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Heather uses practical conversation and structured techniques to address day-to-day problems. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people name what feels hard, notice patterns, and try small changes that can make life easier.
Her work draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based methods, and trauma-focused care. Those tools are used to reduce distressing thoughts, improve emotional regulation, and process difficult memories at a pace the client can manage.
Heather helps people develop clearer communication skills and stronger self-respect. She uses practical exercises, real-life skill practice, and guided reflection so clients can try different ways of responding to conflict and shame. Progress often looks like clearer boundaries, fewer overwhelming reactions, and better daily functioning.
Sessions are conversational and task-focused. Heather aims to make therapeutic work feel useful for everyday life rather than only theoretical. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Heather uses evidence-based approaches during online work
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different, more useful ways of thinking. It often includes practical exercises and small homework tasks to test changes in daily life, useful for anxiety and low mood.DBT focuses on teaching skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills help when strong emotions lead to impulsive actions or when someone wants steadier responses to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will discuss options and decide together what fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on how it feels and what changes are happening.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around work, appointments, and family responsibilities while still using the tools and exercises they practice in sessions.
