  2. How Heather Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

    Heather draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach uses open questions and reflective listening to examine motivations and strengthen commitment to concrete steps, which can help with substance concerns, behavior change, or making life shifts.

    She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where worry or avoidance get in the way of living a valued life.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She collaborates to create a plan and adjusts it as progress unfolds.

    Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist's practice. Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce time lost to travel, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care after clinic visits and can let people meet with a licensed professional from their own routines without changing where they live.
