How Heather blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people feel heard while they sort out thoughts and habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. It uses simple, practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques for people who need steadier coping tools.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, needs, and preferences. Goals and techniques may be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in real-life settings and bring those experiences back to sessions for review.
