Dr. Heather Girardin

Dr. Heather Girardin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, family conflict, and depression. She also pays attention to life purpose and midlife concerns when those questions come up.

Heather aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits of thinking and behaving.

In a meeting with Heather, clients can expect direct conversation about current problems. She encourages people to talk through thoughts, feelings, and the everyday behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships, communication, and decisions about work or family roles.

Her background includes almost two decades of work supporting adults through life transitions. That experience informs how she helps people facing aging and geriatric concerns, attachment and codependency issues, and the shake-up that sometimes follows divorce or separation. Heather also addresses impulsivity, isolation, jealousy, and commitment worries.

People seeking help with life purpose or midlife questioning will find a therapist who listens for what matters next. To begin the process she invites prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How Heather’s approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. In practice that means sessions begin by asking what is most pressing and then shaping conversation around those concerns. This approach helps when someone feels uncertain about what to address next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short bursts CBT helps identify patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then tests new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and decision-making questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the approach as therapy continues so the work stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed. These practical benefits can make it easier to keep therapy aligned with daily life.
