About Heather

Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and a range of other challenges. Sessions focus on concrete skills and clearer thinking rather than labels. Heather speaks English and accepts international clients.

Her background includes work with people impacted by traumatic brain injury, geriatric mental health, caregiver strain, and those adjusting to chronic illness or disability. She also has experience in settings linked to corrections and community agencies, and with clients who have struggled with substance use and anger. That range means she often helps people manage practical problems alongside emotional healing.

Heather uses a mix of approaches drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and motivational interviewing. In session she helps people identify patterns, test new behaviors, and practice skills that reduce reactivity and increase control.

Expect straightforward work on coping strategies, thought patterns, emotion regulation, and communication. Heather aims to match techniques to each person's goals, so sessions can include short skills coaching, structured exercises, or discussion depending on what helps most.

Her practice presents therapy as problem-focused and practical. People who want to handle anger, rebuild trust, reduce panic, or manage long-term health and caregiving stress may find this approach useful. To get started, follow the site’s scheduling steps to complete a brief questionnaire and book an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Heather commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, and depression. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal functioning, which can be practiced between sessions. She also draws on client-centered principles, which means sessions pay attention to each person's concerns and goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then pick techniques to try. That choice can change as work progresses. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since this profile does not list particular formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use video or phone options depending on how they prefer to engage. Practical gains include keeping momentum between appointments through homework and skills practice, and reducing travel time so therapy can be fitted around work, caregiving, or medical commitments.
