About Heidi
Dr. Heidi Duong is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma, abandonment, attachment concerns, body image struggles, and loneliness.
Her approach is conversational and practical, aimed at finding small changes that improve day-to-day life. She uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs. Sessions are focused on identifying which areas of life feel empty or stuck, then planning steps to build meaning and consistency.
Background and approach
Heidi emphasizes self-direction so people can practice new habits outside of sessions. Her work often includes attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviors. She helps people notice patterns linked to attachment and family of origin, then test new ways of relating and coping.
She also offers tools to manage impulses, dissociation, shame, and codependency that get in the way of feeling steady. Over seven years as a clinician, Heidi blends emotion-focused conversation with skills-based techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. That mix aims to both process difficult emotions and build practical skills for managing them.
She works with adults who want clearer goals and steadier emotional ground. Therapy sessions may include talk, skills practice, and planning for real-world changes. People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone that respects their goals and moves at a pace that fits their life.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and close connections; it can help people understand why they react strongly in relationships and practice different ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values, often used for anxiety, depression, and low motivation. Client-Centered Therapy offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working to find what fits best. Sessions may shift over time as needs change, combining understanding of past patterns with concrete skills for daily life.
Online therapy here can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and emotional work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, homework, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
