Practical Therapy Tools, Designed for Online Support
Heather Lockey draws from evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, then practicing new skills that can help with concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values, so clients can take steps toward the life they want even when challenges show up. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when life feels intense or relationships feel strained.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather collaborates with clients to understand what is bringing them to therapy, what goals matter most, and what style of support feels workable. From there, sessions can blend strategies in a way that fits the client rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with support, whether sessions happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and access support from the comfort of home.
