CBT and Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online

Heather Kleckinger-Craven uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties by teaching strategies for managing thoughts and emotions.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward preferred outcomes. This approach is useful for clients seeking concrete change, coping with life transitions, or wanting to build on what is already working in their lives.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Heather works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust techniques to ensure a good fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
