Client-Centered, Motivational, and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Heather uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s own goals and perspective, offering empathetic listening and support as clients explore what matters most to them. Motivational interviewing is used to help strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, useful for overcoming ambivalence about decisions or new behaviors. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences by helping clients process painful memories and develop coping strategies to reduce their impact on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so care remains tailored and effective.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and scheduling. Clients can meet by video call or phone, or choose live chat or text-based messaging for greater flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
