   About Heather

   Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings three years of LPC practice to her work and believes therapy can help people move through difficult chapters. Heather writes plainly and meets people where they are, focusing on practical steps clients can use right away.

   Heather uses a mix of approaches that are chosen to match each person's needs. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to track thoughts and habits, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the person's own goals. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when those tools fit the situation.

   Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. She also helps with addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, sleeping and eating problems, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and veteran and armed forces issues.

   Heather has experience supporting people connected to corrections, child welfare, and geriatric mental health work. She describes her approach as trauma-informed and practical, aiming to build skills and clearer choices over time.

   She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the platform's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

2. How Heather's Approaches Work Online

   Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of helping people find their own motivation for change. It uses open questions and reflections to clarify what matters and to move toward realistic steps. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a relationship that helps the person set their own goals and pace the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches based on what helps most.
   
   The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when routines change, while the therapist and client decide together how often to meet and what will help progress.
