About Heather
Heather Schmit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety and phobia. Heather works with individuals who find social situations and relationship interactions especially difficult.
Her sessions aim to help people build clearer coping strategies and stronger communication skills. She emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions, like mindfulness exercises and small behavior experiments. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match what each person can manage.
Heather often uses client-centered methods to support a person’s sense of agency. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns come up.
For people who carry trauma or intrusive memories, Heather can use EMDR alongside other approaches to process those experiences. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with stress, sleep, and grounding during difficult moments. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Practical matters are part of the work. Heather discusses goals, homework, and what success looks like for each person. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s pace and prioritize whatever concerns feel most pressing in the moment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to see what helps. In remote sessions this often looks like reviewing patterns together, assigning brief between-session experiments, and checking results in the next meeting.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional responses and how those responses shape relationships. When attachment or intimacy issues appear in online work, EFT-style conversations can clarify patterns and practice new responses in real time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will help decide which methods fit a person’s situation, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help some people keep momentum and apply new skills in day-to-day life.
