Approaches that translate to online care

Heather frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors step by step, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical changes and asks what would be different when things improve, which helps people build momentum quickly.

She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help clients with emotional regulation and staying present. Mindfulness exercises in brief practice can reduce reactivity and make daily routines feel more manageable. The therapist and client decide together which combination of methods fits the client’s needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping therapy consistent during life transitions and for practicing skills in everyday settings.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
