About Heather
Heather Horvath is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with three years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and addiction. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes work with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and traumatic brain injury. Heather draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches. She also uses techniques from the Gottman Method and motivational interviewing when these match a person's goals.
Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways of responding. Heather emphasizes concrete strategies - skills practice, behavior changes, and short-term experiments to see what helps. She also addresses trauma-informed concerns and grief with practical steps for coping and daily functioning.
Heather describes her work as collaborative. She and the person set goals together, try specific interventions, and review what is or is not working. Progress is tracked in sessions so adjustments can be made as needed.
People who want direct, structured work on thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and relationship skills may find this approach useful. For those with medical or rehabilitation needs, she integrates practical supports related to changing function and caregiving demands.
How Heather integrates CBT and related methods in online work
Heather commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try concrete experiments to change behavior and emotions. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, practicing skills between meetings, and reviewing what helps.She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and reflecting to clarify a person's priorities and values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are the main concerns; these provide step-by-step tools to manage strong feelings and interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what is working.
