Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood, and applies practical exercises to daily situations. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and uses brief steps that build forward momentum.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather works collaboratively to identify which methods match the person's needs and preferences. She adjusts techniques as goals become clearer and checks in often to see what is helping.
