Heather Mangold, LPC

Heather Mangold is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with a degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from Capella University and 13 years of clinical experience. She works with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, gender identity questions, career concerns, OCD, ADHD, trauma or emotional abuse, addictions, grief, eating issues, and self-esteem difficulties. Her practice is inclusive of LGBT clients and addresses both individual and relationship needs.

Her counseling style is calm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and tailors both conversation and treatment plans to each person or family. Heather draws on a mix of evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, humanistic and holistic perspectives, solution-focused work, mindfulness practices, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples therapy, and the Gottman Method to create an individualized path forward.

Outside of practice she shares life with her husband, two children, three dogs, a few cats, goats, chickens, and ducks, and values time spent outdoors hiking, camping, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and family bike rides. She also enjoys baking, photography, and lifelong learning. Seeking change takes courage, and Heather offers support and empowerment for those ready to take that first step.

Heather draws from cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to support people facing intense emotions or patterns that feel overwhelming.

For couples, Heather incorporates Emotionally Focused Couples therapy to strengthen attachment and improve communication by exploring underlying emotional needs. These approaches are applied in an individualized way, and Heather collaborates with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process and is adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Heather can take place via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or when in-person sessions are not feasible. These options make it easier for people in different locations, including international clients, to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care while balancing daily life.
