Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and attachment styles. It helps clients understand their relational needs, heal wounds related to abandonment or disrupted bonds, and build more secure connections with partners and family members.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-oriented approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life transitions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured method for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for people recovering from traumatic events who want to reduce the power of traumatic recollections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heather will work collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy. Together they explore which methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy provides flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These formats support continuity of care and make it possible to receive consistent therapeutic support without the need for in-person visits.
