About Heather

Heather DeVilliers brings a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) orientation to her practice, blending evidence-based techniques with empathic, person-centered care to help clients address stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

Background and approach

As an LPC with 16 years of experience in the mental health field, she focuses on practical skills and perspective shifts that support emotional regulation, healthier habits, and clearer thinking.

Heather also integrates client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore relationship challenges, trauma and grief, parenting and family dynamics, addiction and eating-related issues, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and transitions such as divorce or separation.

Practicing from Arizona, Heather uses a warm, listening-oriented style that emphasizes being heard and validated while building concrete coping strategies. She offers a range of online session formats to fit different needs and schedules and guides clients collaboratively in setting goals and choosing therapeutic techniques that fit their life.

Integrating CBT and Mindfulness in Online Care

Heather commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical strategies for changing behaviors and emotions; this approach is often applied to concerns like anxiety, depression, and problem-focused coping. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which emphasizes present-moment awareness, breathing and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation across issues such as stress, trauma-related symptoms, and self-esteem challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with clients to clarify goals, experiment with techniques, and adapt methods over time so the work aligns with each person’s needs and preferences, combining CBT tools, mindful practices, and client-centered support as appropriate.

Online therapy with Heather is available through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional in Arizona.
