How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps, experiments, and practice that translate well to online conversations.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate goals and build on strengths people already have. That approach emphasizes short-term steps and practical strategies to create quick improvements in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and situation. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy lives.
