About Heidi
Dr. Heidi Duong helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, low self-esteem, and the effects of past trauma. She focuses on uncovering what feels missing and on practical steps to bring more meaning and balance into daily life.
Her approach centers on helping people find clearer direction and greater self-acceptance. She uses an existential lens to look at what matters most to each person. That means talking about values, purpose, and how choices shape a life that feels more authentic.
Background and approach
She blends this with practical skills from cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based strategies to address painful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-focused work and a client-centered stance guide how she builds the relationship in sessions. That helps people feel heard while they try new ways of relating and coping.
Sessions emphasize self-direction and developing tools that fit each person’s situation. Her clinical background is grounded in seven years of practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. She practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English.
She does not work with international clients. In sessions people can expect a mix of listening, guided reflection, and concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. The aim is to reduce isolation, ease self-doubt, and increase life satisfaction by identifying small, doable changes.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Existential therapy in her online work invites people to talk about meaning, purpose, and choices. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters most and wants to align daily life with their values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and repeated unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current bonds and coping. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may look like starting with values work, then adding practical ACT exercises or attachment-focused conversations as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy days.
