She most often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing alongside solution-focused techniques to help clients develop practical skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and build sustainable coping strategies. She also brings experience addressing obsessions, compulsions, OCD, and relationship structures such as polyamory and other forms of non-monogamy.

Heidi provides sessions during weekday evenings and on weekends to accommodate varied schedules. As an experienced licensed clinician in New Jersey (NJ LPC 37PC00520900), she offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and is currently accepting new clients who are located within the United States.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Heidi frequently uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can set and pursue their own goals. It is helpful for a wide range of concerns including relationship challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help clients clarify their values, strengthen motivation for change, and resolve ambivalence around difficult decisions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heidi works with each person to select or combine methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Heidi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care from home, and maintain continuity during life changes while working with a licensed professional.
