About Heather

Heather Caiazzo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 29 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Heather also focuses on body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and social anxiety.

Her style centers on listening first and helping clients name what is happening for them. She treats people as the expert on their own life while bringing tools from several therapeutic approaches. Sessions often include exploring feelings that are hard to put into words and trying out practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Heather uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also draws on EMDR for trauma-related processing and the Gottman Method for relationship patterns when relevant. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful reactions, and build more reliable responses to stress and conflict.

She helps people learn more about their natural personality traits through personality testing. That work is aimed at clarifying strengths and finding purpose in daily life rather than labeling or diagnosing. Heather supports people who want clearer communication and steadier coping skills.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location.

How Heather’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with core emotions that drive difficult patterns. In online sessions this can mean naming feelings together and practicing new responses to those feelings in the moment. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following a person's lead so the therapist reflects concerns and supports self-discovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed model.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support emotional work, trauma processing, and practice of new communication skills without promising a particular outcome.
