About Heather

Dr. Heather Girardin is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, relationships, and depression. She combines a warm, nonjudgmental presence with practical conversation to help clients feel heard and understood. Her first priority is creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly.

With 17 years of experience in counseling, she supports people working through family conflict, self-esteem struggles, isolation, and motivation. She also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and life purpose. Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. That means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and then building a plan that fits daily life. She uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes.

Dr. Girardin aims to make starting therapy less intimidating. She acknowledges how hard the first step can be and encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable. Practical goals and honest conversation guide the work.

She practices in Colorado and works with people on issues that often appear in midlife and later years, including aging and geriatric concerns and midlife transitions. If you want straightforward help with mood, relationships, or finding purpose, she offers focused sessions to support that work.

Client-centered and CBT approaches for online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It involves listening closely, reflecting what you say, and building a trusting relationship so you feel safe to talk about hard things. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady place to sort out feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and problems that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Together you can choose techniques that match your needs, preferences, and pace.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes scheduling across different locations simpler for people living in Colorado who prefer remote appointments.
