How Heather’s Methods Work Online

Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build the motivation to take the next steps.

She often combines those approaches with Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term, practical goals. That might mean choosing one small change to try before the next session, then reviewing what worked and adjusting the plan together. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process and Heather will help decide what fits a person’s needs and goals.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tools to match everyday life, helping clients practice skills between appointments without promising specific outcomes.
