BHow sessions work
How Heather uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions aligned with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where motivation and focus are an issue. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with depression, anxiety, and problem-solving in daily life.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss what matters most to the client, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on how the client responds. That means the first few sessions often include some assessment and joint decisions about which techniques to use next.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people continue work after a move within the same state when licensure permits. Discussing how sessions will work is part of the initial matching and scheduling process.
