About Heather
Heather Schmit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Heather also focuses on codependency, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and issues around intimacy and communication.
She helps people build clearer boundaries and stronger coping skills. Sessions tend to center on practical steps for managing emotions and improving everyday interactions. Heather uses approaches that encourage clients to notice patterns and try different responses in real life.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to name thought patterns and gently test new behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationship patterns and attachment needs come up.
For people with traumatic memories, Heather includes EMDR approaches alongside mindfulness practices to support regulation and reduce distress. Those methods are woven into sessions as appropriate to the individual's needs and readiness.
Heather aims to collaborate on goals like better sleep, improved self-esteem, clearer communication, and more manageable reactions to stress. People can expect direct conversations about what is working, what isn’t, and small experiments to try between sessions.

How sessions work
How Heather uses therapeutic approaches online
Heather draws on client-centered therapy to focus on the person's perspective and priorities. That approach means the therapist listens closely and helps clients clarify goals, values, and the next steps they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, and everyday coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is helpful when relationship patterns or attachment needs are the main concern, offering ways to notice emotional responses and try new interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options, checks in about how techniques are feeling, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people meet between work or caregiving responsibilities. Working remotely still lets licensed professionals guide coping practice, assign short experiments between appointments, and focus on communication skills and emotional regulation in everyday settings.
