Dr. Heather Gillman

Dr. Heather Gillman greets people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or drained by daily life. She is a New York psychologist with 28 years of experience. Heather listens actively and talks with clients rather than sitting quietly, aiming to help them notice what gets in the way of feeling better.

She focuses on common problems like anxiety, stress, depression, anger, trauma and bipolar mood concerns. She also helps with relationship struggles, grief, body image, addictions, and issues around sexuality and intimacy. Her work includes attention to communication problems, isolation, and trouble with self-esteem.

Heather draws on Client-Centered methods to build a respectful, collaborative space. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when emotional regulation and coping skills are priorities.

Her style is engaged and interpretive: she offers observations and helps clients test new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions are practical and aimed at real-life change rather than abstract talk.

Heather holds the credential NY Psychologist 016474. She practices in New York and works in English. People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

How Heather's Approaches Fit Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a collaborative relationship. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tries practical experiments to change those patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and panic symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking because session formats are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also can let people use different communication styles, such as talking through issues while minimizing time away from work or family. Licensed professionals adapt methods like CBT exercises and emotion-regulation skills to an online setting so practical skill building continues between sessions.
