About Heather
Heather DeVilliers is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Arizona with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, and codependency. Heather also works with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, eating issues, anger, and life transitions.
She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness practices are part of her approach when people need skills for emotion regulation and being more present.
Heather mentions using art as a part of the work, offering another way to express thoughts that can be hard to name. Sessions can include talking and creative expression to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when those come up in relationships and family dynamics.
Her background includes many years of lived experience in addition to clinical practice, which she says helps her sit with people during difficult moments. She aims to make room for people to be heard and understood rather than rushed.
Practical goals in her work include improving communication, setting boundaries, managing cravings or urges, and finding calmer reactions to stress. Heather encourages taking gradual steps so change feels manageable and realistic.
How sessions work
Online sessions using client-centered and skills-based approaches
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and figure out their own priorities rather than following a set plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical ways to change reactions and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides short skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving relationships.Heather treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will talk through what feels most useful and try methods that match goals and daily life. Adjustments are made as needed so the approach fits the person rather than the person fitting the method.
Specific session formats are not detailed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Online work can make it easier to use mindfulness exercises and DBT skills between sessions, and creative activities can be adapted for remote meetings. Ask about available formats when you schedule so you know what to expect.
