About Heather

Heather Caiazzo is a licensed marriage and family therapist with nearly three decades of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to help clients build practical coping skills, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen emotional regulation so daily life feels more manageable and purposeful. Heather emphasizes clients' strengths and personal insight, guiding them to recognize and use their own resources as part of recovery and growth.

Her practice also addresses related concerns such as body image, social anxiety and phobia, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, forgiveness, and a search for life purpose and self-love. Heather offers personality testing to help clients understand natural traits and how those traits can inform healthier choices and clearer direction.

Licensed in Florida and California, she brings a collaborative, respectful stance that centers each person’s story while teaching skills and strategies to support meaningful change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Heather integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into online work to give clients practical tools and targeted processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping strategies. EMDR offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and associated distress through guided bilateral stimulation and therapeutic support.

She pairs these methods with a client-centered stance, listening closely to each person’s goals and adapting techniques to their needs. Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss options, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on how the client responds and what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with Heather is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit different schedules. These formats allow for regular, flexible contact so clients can practice skills between meetings and stay connected when in-person sessions are not possible.
