About Heather
Heather Wilson is a Vermont Psychologist-Master (VT Psychologist-Master 047.0089552) with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, and family-related challenges including parenting and pregnancy or postpartum issues. Her practice includes supporting people coping with trauma, grief, workplace strain, and relationship problems.
Wilson draws on multiple evidence-based techniques rather than a single method. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steps to reduce everyday stress. She also addresses attachment concerns and blended family issues that come up when households are changing or new parenting roles are forming.
She has a graduate degree in clinical psychology and has supervised students and newer therapists toward licensure. Her background includes training with Postpartum Support International and work with structured approaches such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These inform how she helps people with parenting transitions and early parenthood challenges.
In sessions she combines short-term strategies and longer-term reflection. That might mean skill practice one week and looking at recurring patterns the next. The focus is on what is useful for daily life - improving routines, easing conflict, and building steadier coping habits.
People who are managing divorce or separation, caregiver stress, or the particular tensions of blended households often seek her support. She offers therapy in English from Vermont and asks people to confirm current session options when scheduling.
Approaches used and online session info
Heather draws from multiple approaches to meet everyday problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that align with them while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. That can help people who feel stuck by worry or guilt and want clearer next steps.Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a structured approach that concentrates on changing interaction patterns between caregivers and children. Elements from PCIT inform guidance on routines, praise, and consistent responses - practical tools often useful during parenting transitions and blended household adjustments.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adapt techniques as the client progresses. That collaborative process helps match short-term skills and longer-term exploration to what the person actually needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for work-focused check-ins or shorter visits when needed. Licensed professionals can use different formats to accommodate quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or a quick midday check-in, so ask which session types are offered when you schedule.
