Background and approach
She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use between sessions. In meetings she listens, helps set straightforward goals, and introduces skills that fit daily life. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused methods.
These tools help clients notice unhelpful patterns, build values-driven action, and manage distressing thoughts and memories. Heather adapts techniques to each person’s pace and needs. Sessions often include skill practice, gentle processing of difficult memories, and planning for real-world situations.
Heather emphasizes collaboration so clients can choose what feels most useful. She aims to make sessions respectful, down-to-earth, and focused on practical progress. Heather earned a master’s degree in social work and holds a Texas LCSW license, TX LCSW 37544.
She has provided therapy in outpatient settings and has long experience with veteran-focused care. Her style is encouraging and goal-oriented, helping people move forward one step at a time.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood disorders, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather works together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, pace, and comfort level. She blends techniques so sessions stay focused on what helps most in everyday life rather than on a single method.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when needed, phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can offer a quick check-in, and messaging supports short ongoing contact and skill coaching. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments while still using ACT and CBT methods effectively.
