Online support
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Heather blends Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas to address what matters most to each person. Existential therapy helps people look at life choices, purpose, and values so they can decide what matters and act on it. ACT teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while pursuing meaningful goals and is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based work examines how early relationship patterns affect present connections and can help with communication, intimacy, and trust issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in on what’s helping and changes course when something isn’t working, so treatment stays practical and goal-oriented.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or quick coping tools between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while still using the therapeutic approaches described above.
