About Heidi
Dr. Heidi Duong is a Washington state LMHC with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps people untangle family of origin issues and related patterns such as attachment concerns, codependency, and trouble with commitment.
Dr. Duong uses several evidence-informed approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. Sessions focus on concrete skills and clearer decision making. Conversations look at what gets in the way of forward movement and what practical steps can be tried next.
Her style emphasizes noticing repeated patterns that came from family interactions and how those patterns show up now. She helps people identify which patterns are keeping them stuck and then practices skills to respond differently. That can include attention to beliefs about self, boundaries, and everyday habits around food, connection, or control.
Dr. Duong works with people who want straightforward, skill-focused work alongside space to talk through painful memories or hard emotions. She encourages small experiments in daily life to test new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Over time the emphasis is on clearer values and more consistent choices.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used for remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small, value-driven steps forward. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are often used for anxiety, depression, and problems rooted in family patterns and self-critical beliefs.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may combine skill work with conversations about early family experiences and attachment patterns.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and bring real-life examples to talk about during appointments.
