How Heidi’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's priorities and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions using this approach start with what matters most to the person and progress at their pace, which can help with issues like stress, ADHD-related struggles, and self-esteem concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and changing patterns in close relationships. In virtual work, this means helping clients notice repeated interaction cycles and try new ways of communicating, which can improve intimacy and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, not a one-time decision. Heidi works collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on the client's goals, history, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into busy schedules or use less bandwidth, live chat works for brief check-ins or people who prefer typing, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on practical tools and emotional work.
