How her approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Heath often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing small experiments between meetings, and reviewing what changed. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect reactions and trust, which can help when working on relationship or parenting concerns.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process may include a mix of CBT techniques, attachment-focused work, and brief solution-focused coaching when a short-term aim is clear.
