How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for people facing life transitions, low motivation, or persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and relational patterns, helping people understand and shift how they respond in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and checking what feels most helpful over a few sessions.
