About Heather
LCSW, CSW in Colorado with four years of clinical experience, Heather Engle focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem. She works with people who struggle with communication problems, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are conducted in English and intended for adults in Colorado. Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma-focused approaches.
Heather begins by helping clients name the problems that cause the most disruption. She uses straightforward strategies from CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against daily life. Skills from DBT and mindfulness help with intense emotions and building tolerance for distress. EMDR and trauma-focused work are used when past events continue to cause symptoms.
Her approach looks at what is getting in the way of daily functioning and what practical steps can change it. That might mean practicing new communication skills, trying exposure strategies for social fears, or using grounding and breathing skills to manage panic. Heather also helps people process grief and anger so these reactions feel less overwhelming.
Heather explains techniques in plain language and practices them together in session. She helps clients set small, achievable goals and notices progress in concrete ways. Sessions also address self-worth, forgiveness, and rebuilding confidence after loss or trauma.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Heather works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; cost varies with location. International clients are not accepted.

How therapeutic approaches are used in remote sessions
Heather commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. CBT work focuses on small behavior changes, while DBT provides step-by-step techniques for managing intense feelings.EMDR and trauma-focused methods are also part of her practice when past events keep causing symptoms. EMDR involves bilateral stimulation alongside trauma processing to reduce the hold of traumatic memories, and trauma-focused therapy looks at how past experiences affect current behavior and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Heather will talk about goals, try methods in session, and adjust what they do together based on how the client responds. She explains each option in plain language and helps people pick approaches that fit their needs and comfort level.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. In general, remote options can make it easier to fit sessions into the week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Discuss practical needs like scheduling, camera use, and session length when arranging the first appointment so sessions fit daily life.
