How her approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Heath draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships and how early bonds affect adult life. That approach focuses on understanding connection, trust, and boundary issues and can help when repeating family role patterns makes relationships difficult.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's own experience and goals, offering space to name what feels most pressing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in sessions when specific thinking or behavior patterns are identified and the work shifts to trying practical experiments or new coping skills.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences and may adjust the plan as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process focused on clear steps and practical support.
