About Heather
Heather Caiazzo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 29 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and is licensed in both Florida and California. Heather works with adults around stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression, and she also addresses issues like body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and loneliness.
Her approach centers on the client's own story and strengths. She uses methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method to shape sessions. In plain terms, she listens, helps people name what is happening, and offers skills and perspectives to reduce distress.
Heather also offers personality testing to help clients better understand their natural traits. She uses those insights to make daily life and long-term goals clearer. That work aims to increase motivation and a sense of purpose without promising specific outcomes.
Sessions tend to focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and addressing patterns that sustain shame or guilt. Heather explains options and lets the client decide what feels most helpful. The early meetings are practical and focused on immediate concerns.
She asks people to view themselves as experts on their own lives while she provides guidance and clinical tools. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Heather uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what the client brings to the room. That means she listens for personal strengths and priorities, then helps people shape goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, and shame.She also draws on EMDR for trauma-related distress when appropriate. EMDR involves structured processing of difficult memories and can be paired with other techniques to reduce the intensity of painful recollections. These approaches are described early in therapy so clients know what to expect and can weigh the options.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative task. Heather will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend approaches to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what the client notices and reports works best for them.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions without video when needed. Licensed professionals help clients shape a plan that fits daily life and therapeutic goals.
