About Heidi
Dr. Heidi Duong is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and struggles with eating and self-esteem. She listens for what feels missing in life and works with clients to find practical ways to feel more purposeful and steady. Sessions focus on figuring out what matters to each person and taking small steps toward goals that fit their life.
She draws on several evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment principles to change unhelpful thinking and increase meaningful action. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior skills are used when people need tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Dr. Duong keeps sessions collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people identify barriers, test new behaviors, and practice skills between meetings. Conversations look at family of origin themes, codependency, boundaries, shame, and impulses so clients can make clearer choices.
With seven years of clinical experience, she blends talk therapy with practical action planning. Treatment focuses on self-direction, autonomy, and building routines that support lasting change. Progress is discussed regularly so plans stay realistic and flexible.
