01About Heather
Dr. Heather Girardin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, and low self-esteem. She works to make starting therapy feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to seek support.
She uses straightforward conversations to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on everyday problems and practical steps rather than jargon. Heather aims to create an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Her background includes 17 years in clinical work in Colorado, with experience across relationship strain, family conflict, and motivational struggles. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, codependency, and challenges around commitment and communication. Therapy often includes looking at patterns that feed anxiety or low self-worth, then trying clearer ways of thinking and behaving.
Heather draws on client-centered approaches to follow each person's lead and on cognitive behavioral strategies to test new habits. Together she and the client set small, achievable goals. Sessions are offered in multiple formats to fit different routines and needs.
Heather aims to help people build more self-love, manage impulsivity or jealousy, and find clearer direction during midlife transitions or moments of loneliness.

04Online support
How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's priorities. In online sessions this means conversations shaped by the client’s goals, with the therapist reflecting and asking questions to clarify what matters. It helps when someone wants a supportive, empathetic space to work through relationship or family worries.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small changes in behavior. Online CBT sessions often include practicing new skills between meetings and reviewing what worked. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, impulsivity, and improving self-esteem.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches feels most helpful. They will tailor pace and tools to the individual's needs, goals, and preferences so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and deeper interaction, while phone calls can be shorter check-ins or fit during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief reflections, ongoing check-ins, and work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into different routines and life demands.
