About Heather
Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting concerns. Heather uses straightforward, practical methods so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.
She aims to make therapy feel achievable and relevant to everyday life. Heather blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She draws from client-centered work to focus on what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior techniques and motivational interviewing also appear when clients need skills for emotion regulation or to find reasons to change. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
Parents often come with concrete problems like sleep, eating, or behavior routines, and Heather breaks those issues into small, testable steps. She also supports people facing grief, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and relationship concerns. The tone is practical and compassionate rather than clinical.
Heather has a background working with community agencies and in rehabilitation settings. That experience informs how she approaches problems that involve health changes, aging, or traumatic brain injury. Her work includes attention to addiction, bipolar concerns, and panic-related symptoms.
Therapy is offered in English and is available to international clients. Heather provides sessions in several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and communication style.

How Heather blends proven approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says matters most. It helps people feel heard and sets the direction for therapy based on their goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple steps to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many day-to-day parenting challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can help with anger, intense mood swings, and situations where emotion regulation feels difficult.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time as progress and obstacles become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or to fit a shorter check-in during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to stay connected between appointments and to share updates when typing feels more convenient.
These options make it simpler to balance therapy with parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities while still using structured approaches to problem solving.
