About Heather
Heather Wilkie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as relationships, identity, anger, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day to reduce reactivity and restore connection where it’s been frayed.
Heather integrates several therapy styles to fit what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and choose values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for clear behavior change and shifting automatic reactions. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and reflects so people feel heard as they sort things out.
People often bring concerns about intimacy, addiction, grief, parenting strain, trauma, body image, or work-related stress. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and eating or sleeping problems. Sexual identity and LGBT concerns are included among the areas she works with.
Her approach is straightforward. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She helps identify small, testable changes to try between meetings and then reviews what worked.
Heather practices in Florida and conducts work in English. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site's matching flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice distressing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that line up with their values. It can be useful for anger that leads to regret or avoidance, and for making small behavior changes that reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying the thoughts and habits that keep reactions going and testing small behavior experiments to change them. It suits people who want concrete tools for managing triggers and improving responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods to match goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on what can be tried between sessions and reviewed later.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals often use video or phone to keep sessions accessible, and Heather will discuss what works best for timing and how to structure meetings to fit everyday life.
