How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, behaviors, and mood, teaching practical skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering empathy and support while clients discover their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Heather will work with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful for their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions remain relevant and practical.
