About Dr. Heidi Duong

Dr. Heidi Duong, LMHC, is a mental health counselor who helps adults explore what feels missing or out of reach in their lives and move toward greater purpose and satisfaction. With 7 years of experience, she supports clients who are navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, eating and food-related concerns, self-esteem, and body image challenges, as well as issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation, codependency, and communication problems.

Her work centers on identifying the areas of life that feel unfulfilling, noticing patterns that keep people stuck in “quick fixes,” and clarifying the barriers that make change difficult. Together with clients, she focuses on building practical strategies that support self-direction, self-autonomy, and a stronger sense of self-congruency so that daily choices align more closely with personal values and goals.

In addition to mental health therapy, Dr. Duong offers hypnotherapy and spiritual counseling as a Kvantum Energy Facilitator. She also incorporates energy healing strategies, including fitness, as part of a holistic and integrative approach aimed at helping clients develop more meaning, consistency, and life satisfaction.

Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Online

Dr. Heidi Duong draws from practical, skills-focused approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practice more balanced alternatives. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem, especially when someone feels stuck in the same cycles.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building a meaningful life alongside difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than waiting for them to disappear first. ACT can be helpful when worry, self-doubt, or past experiences keep pulling attention away from what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting clients who want stronger coping skills and steadier follow-through.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Duong collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what is already working, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit the individual.

Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and allowing clients to stay connected to their therapy work between appointments.
