About Heidi
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 27 years of counseling experience, Heidi Herrick-Lynn focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting strains, obsessions and compulsions, and non-monogamous relationship issues. Heidi uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused tools to help people make practical changes.
Heidi frames sessions around what each person brings. She listens for what matters first, then offers concrete strategies and short-term goals. That might include identifying thought patterns, practicing new coping skills, or setting small experiments to test what helps. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and psychodynamic ideas to notice longer-standing patterns.
Her approach favors clear, usable steps that fit into busy lives. Sessions can include skill practice, problem-solving, and time to talk through emotions and history. Heidi aims to balance focused work with the space to understand how past experiences shape present behavior.
Heidi has worked in clinical settings in Massachusetts and New Jersey over a long career. She brings experience from many treatment contexts and across varied concerns. That background helps when clients need both short-term fixes and deeper reflection.
She schedules weekday evening and weekend appointments. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling by following the platform process to match and book a first session.

How Heidi’s approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person's priorities and reflecting those concerns back so goals are clear. It helps when someone needs a respectful, steady place to organize feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with practical exercises. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, obsessive thinking, and relationship patterns because it creates step-by-step tasks to try between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. Those skills can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflict, and improving daily coping.
Finding the right approach is worked out together. The therapist will listen to current concerns, short-term goals, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then she will recommend approaches and adjust them based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences in ongoing sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins or longer evening and weekend sessions. Ask about scheduling and format details when you complete the matching questionnaire and set the first appointment.
