Evidence-based therapy tools, supported through online care
Heather Showen draws from approaches that can be adapted well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing new ways of responding that better support mood, stress, and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps aligned with personal values, which can be especially helpful during life transitions and periods of overwhelm. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting people who feel stuck in intense reactions or impulsive patterns.Because no single method fits everyone, Heather treats finding the right approach as part of the work. Sessions are collaborative and can be tailored to the client’s goals, preferences, and what feels most useful over time, whether the focus is anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, addiction recovery, or coping with change.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how support happens. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or choose live chat and text-based messaging for added accessibility and day-to-day continuity between sessions.
