How her approaches guide online therapy

Heidi often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely to a person's experience and responding with empathy so that they feel understood and more able to make changes. This approach is helpful for people wanting a supportive space to sort through relationship or parenting concerns.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape connections with others. EFT-style work helps people identify painful interaction patterns and practice new ways of expressing needs and responding to others, which can be useful for intimacy-related worries and jealousy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heidi aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts strategies as progress and needs change.
