Heather Horvath, LPC

Heather Horvath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She approaches therapy with a belief that each person’s life story matters and that taking time with difficult chapters can help people cope better and find change. She describes her style as adaptable and trauma-aware, meeting clients where they are and shaping goals to fit individual needs.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered techniques. Sessions often include practical skills, mindfulness, and problem-solving work aimed at daily functioning. Heather also brings experience supporting people who face grief, anger, anxiety, and addictive patterns.

Her background includes work with rehabilitation settings, community agencies, and correctional environments, giving her experience with complex situations like traumatic brain injury and changes in functioning after illness or injury. She also focuses on caregiver stress and aging and geriatric issues as part of her practice.

Therapy with Heather tends to be collaborative and straightforward. She helps people set realistic goals and practices concrete tools between sessions. The emphasis is on making therapy useful for day-to-day life rather than on jargon or abstract theory.

With three years as an LPC and broader experience across community systems, Heather blends practical approaches to address mood, trauma, relationship concerns, and challenges tied to chronic conditions. She works in English and accepts international clients; prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace. The therapist focuses on understanding each person’s experience and helps clients clarify goals and choices in their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that get in the way. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and improve mood and daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can be helpful for managing strong emotions, reducing crisis moments, and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively rather than imposed by the clinician.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shortening travel time or allowing appointments between other commitments. Because session formats are not listed here, please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain continuity during health changes, caregiving responsibilities, or when coordinating care across locations.
