About Heather
Heather Horvath is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy and believes most people can find better ways to cope and heal when life gets hard.
Heather keeps sessions focused on what matters to each person. She uses familiar tools like cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people manage worry, stress, and upsetting memories. The work adapts to each person’s goals and pace rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her background includes work in community agencies and correctional settings over many years. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with loss, trauma, and major life changes. She has also worked with people facing health-related changes in functioning and caregiving strain.
In the room she emphasizes clear, practical steps. That can mean learning ways to calm panic and anxiety, building routines that help with sleep and mood, or practicing new ways to handle anger and relationship conflict. Sessions include collaborative planning and regular check-ins on progress.
Heather aims to make therapy a useful part of everyday life. She helps people find approaches that fit their circumstances and values. People who want straightforward, goal-focused support often find her style helpful.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It prioritizes empathy and helps people set goals that make sense for their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and mood interact and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss these options with the client and pick techniques that fit the person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to work sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of care when changes in routine occur. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills to remote sessions so people can practice tools between meetings and track small, steady improvements.
