About Heather
Heather Schmit is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and the common pressures of life changes. Heather also lists work with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, and workplace stress.
She focuses on helping people build practical coping and communication skills. Sessions emphasize clearer decision-making and learning ways to manage strong emotions. Heather often guides people through relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and codependency so problems feel more manageable.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness techniques. Those methods are used to identify patterns, test small changes, and practice new reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR are also part of her toolkit for deeper emotional processing when appropriate.
Heather aims to keep sessions collaborative and straightforward. She helps people increase self-agency, raise self-esteem, and move toward clearer life purpose and goals. Practical skill building and emotional processing are balanced depending on what each person needs.
She works in English and practices in Colorado. The subscription-based sessions vary in cost by location and can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Heather's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client so they can clarify their own goals and choices. Online this looks like regular check-ins and practical goal-setting during sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and tests small changes to reduce symptoms. Delivered remotely, CBT often uses short exercises, thought records, and homework between sessions to track progress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and shift emotional responses that affect relationships. In online sessions EFT usually involves guided conversations to notice patterns and try different ways of connecting or responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will talk through options and help choose methods based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work, school, or busy schedules, and some formats let you have shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera.
