About Heather
Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who brings three years of clinical experience to her practice.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes the healing potential of therapy and recognizes that each person carries a distinct life story; she adapts interventions to match individual needs rather than relying on a fixed formula. Heather blends evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered techniques and trauma-informed perspectives to support coping, emotional regulation, and meaningful change.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also focuses on areas like chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and post-traumatic symptoms.
Heather aims to collaborate with clients to select goals and techniques that fit their circumstances, drawing from DBT skills, motivational interviewing, and narrative elements when helpful to deepen insight and strengthen day-to-day functioning.
How Heather’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Heather frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping, which can be applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns through structured exercises and skill-building. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the therapist helps clients explore their experiences and priorities in a nonjudgmental way.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills at times to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; these practical skills are often useful for managing intense emotions and relationship stress. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heather works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from different locations. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and adaptable ways to communicate so clients can engage in therapy in the manner that suits them best.
