Heather McKethan, LPC

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to someone and taking small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, sleep issues, and compulsive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and reflects what the client brings, helping people feel heard and better able to make their own decisions.

Heather approaches treatment as a collaborative search for the best methods. She will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust strategies based on what is working. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or continuing progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a parenting schedule, or other responsibilities.
