About Heather
She approaches each session with a focus on the client's own strengths and goals. Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to break problems into manageable parts. Sessions often include simple strategies to change unhelpful thoughts, build motivation, and set short-term goals.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She asks questions, listens to what matters most, and helps people try new ways of coping between sessions. The work is aimed at small, measurable changes that fit daily life.
With three years of professional experience, Heather brings practical experience rather than distant theory. She welcomes conversations about anger, grief, career stress, ADHD concerns, and issues tied to midlife or women's health. Her approach is adaptable to each person's situation.
Heather works in English and holds a Florida LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. To begin, she encourages people to acknowledge the courage it takes to start therapy and to take the next step when they are ready.

How Heather’s approaches work in online sessions
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people make concrete changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce distress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum toward those goals.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. That approach looks for practical steps that can be tried right away and tracked each week. Together these methods target mood, anger, motivation, and relationship habits in a straightforward way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and style. She checks in regularly to adjust techniques and goals based on what actually helps.
