Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Heather Windham
Heather often integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients build healthier connections and emotional regulation. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting clients where they are to support self-directed growth and resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method Heather employs - it helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Heather works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time to find the best fit for the client’s situation and objectives.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging can increase flexibility around work, caregiving, and mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals from familiar environments while tailoring the format to what feels most comfortable and helpful for the client.
