About Heidi
Dr. Heidi Duong is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, trauma, and low self-esteem. She focuses on understanding what feels missing in life and on practical steps to increase meaning and satisfaction.
Her approach is grounded in listening and helping people identify small, actionable changes they can try between sessions. Dr. Duong uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and relationship patterns, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods are used to spot thinking patterns and build day-to-day skills.
Her work pays close attention to attachment and family of origin themes that show up as abandonment fears, codependency, or problems with trust and intimacy. She talks with people about body image, eating and food-related concerns, and the shame or guilt that often follows painful experiences.
Practical tools are combined with reflective conversations so people can try new ways of relating to themselves and others. With seven years of clinical experience and licensure as an LMHC, she practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English. Sessions can include discussion of boundaries, communication strategies, and steps to reduce overwhelm.
The aim is to help people build more consistent, meaningful routines that fit their values. People who reach out are guided through a collaborative process. Dr.
Duong helps identify realistic goals and tracks small wins so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how people experience and respond to strong emotions and relationship patterns. Online sessions can help identify repeating emotional cycles and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. In virtual sessions this often means setting concrete, doable experiments to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy notices how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and safety needs, then works to build more supported ways of relating through conversation and new interactions.Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and shape the plan together. If one method doesn’t feel like a good fit, adjustments are made so the work aligns with real needs and comfort levels.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues and facial expressions matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress notes, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and try consistent work over time.
