About Heather
LPC in Colorado with 17 years of experience, Dr. Heather Girardin focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, and depression. She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people respond differently to thoughts and feelings. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to practical steps between meetings.
Heather listens for how daily routines, communication, and thinking patterns keep problems going. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small changes. When relationships or family conflict are part of the picture, she focuses on clearer communication and manageable boundaries rather than quick fixes.
Her work also addresses issues that come up with aging, attachment patterns, codependency, and the stress of big life shifts. She takes small, measurable steps toward improving confidence, reducing isolation, and restoring a sense of purpose. Heather uses exercises and gentle experiments to build new habits over time.
Therapy with her mixes open conversation with structured tools from CBT. Clients can expect reflective listening, reframing of stressful thoughts, and practical homework between sessions. The therapist pays attention to both feelings and what people actually do day to day.
Practical matters are handled up front. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people clarify their feelings and goals through open conversation and empathic responses. This approach is useful for stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT involves short experiments, thought records, and practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. It suits problems like worry, low mood, and communication habits.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to fit their goals and daily life. That process can include mixing Client-Centered listening with CBT exercises when helpful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits support regular meetings and applying tools between sessions.
