Online Therapy Grounded in Practical Skills and Personal Values
Heather Showen draws from evidence-informed approaches to help clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the impact of trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building healthier behaviors, which can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or self-defeating habits start to feel automatic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, supporting progress even when life feels heavy. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel strained.Therapy does not have to be one-size-fits-all. Heather works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose strategies that fit their preferences and needs over time.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access, making it easier to stay consistent with support. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing care to fit into real schedules and real life.
