Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Heather Girardin

Dr. Heather Girardin draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and supporting self-directed growth, often useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and motivation issues.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides practical tools and exercises that can support progress with anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Girardin works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then adapts techniques to find the best fit. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and supported as treatment evolves.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect with a licensed professional. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow appointments to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. These options make it easier to access consistent support while working toward meaningful change.
