About Heidi
Dr. Heidi Duong is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on issues such as attachment wounds, body image, codependency, communication struggles, and feelings of isolation.
She prioritizes clear, practical conversation. Sessions look at which parts of life feel empty or off track and what keeps someone stuck. The work is geared toward identifying small, doable changes rather than quick fixes. Dr. Duong helps people notice patterns that limit their choices and tries to expand what feels possible.
Her approach draws on several therapy methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Those methods are used to address unhelpful thoughts, strengthen emotional skills, and clarify personal values that guide next steps.
She frames sessions around practical strategies for greater life purpose and consistency. Conversations may cover everyday behavior patterns, relationship dynamics, and how past family experiences influence present choices. The therapist encourages people to test small changes and notice what helps them feel more aligned with their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and questions about purpose. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections and trust; it can help with codependency, abandonment fears, and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is observed. Clients and therapist decide together which skills or perspectives to prioritize in sessions.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on work breaks, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals use the same core therapeutic methods online as they do in person, and the practical focus on values, behavior change, and emotion regulation translates well to virtual work. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
