Heather Wilkie

Heather Wilkie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on relationship challenges, identity concerns, and life transitions, and brings a respectful, inclusive approach to sessions.

Heather uses clear, collaborative methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addiction, and difficulties with intimacy or communication. Her work is informed by many years of clinical practice and direct experience with LGBTQ concerns.

In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then practical steps you can use between meetings. Conversations cover patterns, immediate coping strategies, and small experiments to try in daily life. Heather draws from evidence-informed approaches to tailor the work to each person’s needs and goals.

She also helps people with parenting strains, sleep and eating troubles, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment questions, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, codependency, and gender dysphoria. Heather aims to be approachable and direct while keeping the work focused on what matters most to the client.

With nine years of professional experience as an LMHC, Heather offers steady support for people who want clear direction and practical skills. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps toward a meaningful life. It can help with anxiety, stress, and problems where avoidance gets in the way.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports. This approach helps when someone needs a space to clarify values and feel accepted.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process is flexible and revisited as progress is made.

Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work, school, or caregiving. Confirm the specific session formats available with the therapist before booking so you know how sessions are arranged and what will work best for your situation.
