How Heather uses evidence-based methods online
Heather often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT uses concrete exercises and behavioral experiments that translate well to virtual sessions and daily life.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as a trauma-focused option to process distressing memories. EMDR involves structured sets of attention and memory work and can be adapted to work in a remote format with careful planning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about their symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
