Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help you uncover your own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; it introduces small experiments and practical skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to calm the body and steady attention, which can help with stress and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adapt methods to fit your goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, client-centered reflection, mindfulness, or a mix of methods.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, and family life while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
