Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Heather Sheidler uses a mix of practical therapies that translate well to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for depression, panic, and mood management. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client’s experience, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to strengthen insight and self-directed growth.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Heather works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and some work can be done through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship.
