Remote sessions with skills-based and values-focused tools
Heather provides online support that combines structured skills training with values exploration. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and supports clients in trying practical strategies to change those patterns. This approach is presented in clear, step-by-step work focused on current difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify what matters to each person and to build commitment to actions aligned with those values. That work complements skills training by helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Motivational Interviewing is included when clients face ambivalence about change, such as with substance use or other behavioral goals. Sessions emphasize collaboration and client autonomy. Online appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people prefer to communicate.What is Heather's clinical experience?
