About Heather
Heather Schmit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She works with adults who want clearer communication, stronger self-esteem, and better ways to cope when life feels overwhelming. Her sessions focus on building practical skills.
She guides clients to notice patterns, name feelings, and try small changes that make daily life easier. Therapy is conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Heather uses several well-known approaches to tailor care. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of her toolbox for understanding how emotions shape connections and responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also draws on mindfulness and EMDR techniques when they fit the situation. With six years of experience, Heather aims for a collaborative style. She listens closely and helps clients set realistic steps toward clearer thinking and more effective coping.
The work moves at the client’s pace, and practical tools are offered along the way. People often bring concerns such as trauma, grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, attachment struggles, and intimacy-related issues. Heather focuses on steady, understandable progress rather than quick fixes.
She supports clients as they build new habits and clearer relationships.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Heather blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings that drive their reactions, which can improve how they relate to others and manage strong emotions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving the client space to set the pace and goals of therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change reactions and behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Heather works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix approaches so the work matches what the client wants to achieve rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people reflect between sessions or get shorter touchpoints without scheduling a full call. These options provide flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and daily routines.
