Heather Koster uses practical, evidence-based techniques that help people manage stress and navigate life transitions. One approach emphasizes skills-based work - teaching coping strategies, problem-solving methods, and tools to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process.

She guides clients in exploring what helps most and tailors sessions to support meaningful progress.
