About Heather

Heather Wilkie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who integrates evidence-based methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, mood concerns, and relationship or identity-related challenges.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she blends practical strategies and a person-centered stance to address issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and difficulties with intimacy or communication. Her work also covers parenting, career concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside emotionally-focused and existential perspectives to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Heather emphasizes collaboration and respect, helping clients explore values, improve coping skills, and strengthen emotional connections.

She also maintains an inclusive orientation toward gender and sexual identity concerns and attends to related focuses like attachment, body image, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and kink-aware topics. Heather offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Prospective clients in Florida can learn how the subscription-based scheduling works and begin by completing a short matching questionnaire to find a time that aligns with her availability.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Personal Growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning practical ways to face difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building concrete coping skills to change behaviors and mood, which can support work on depression, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and sleep or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and resolve intimacy and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adjust the plan over time so the therapy approach fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain momentum between sessions while using approaches like ACT and CBT in practical, real-world ways.
