How Heidi's Approaches Work Online
Heidi often combines Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by retelling life events and spotting patterns they want to change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, committed actions even when emotions are strong.She treats choosing an approach as a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will test different techniques and decide which methods feel most useful for your situation and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or schedule brief touchpoints when time is tight. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try therapy in ways that match daily life.
