About Heidi
Dr. Heidi Duong is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating concerns. She focuses on helping clients build self-esteem and address issues like body image, shame, and isolation.
Dr. Duong aims to help people find more meaning and direction in daily life. Her style blends talking therapy with practical tools.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape present reactions. She also offers hypnotherapy as one of several approaches some clients choose to use. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps.
People and their therapist look at current habits and pick strategies that fit day-to-day life. That could mean learning new coping skills, practicing different ways of responding, or trying brief exercises between sessions. Dr.
Duong also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, control and commitment problems, and dissociation. She helps people work through guilt, forgiveness, impulsivity, and feelings of abandonment. The aim is to reduce distress and increase a sense of personal agency.
She offers a mix of conversation, behavioral experiments, and guided techniques that match each person’s needs. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving. People who want to explore life purpose, reduce self-doubt, or change repeating patterns may find this style helpful.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Hypnotherapy can provide guided relaxation and focused imagery to address patterns like anxiety, negative self-talk, and eating-related concerns; it is offered as one option alongside talk-based methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to small, values-driven actions that improve daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and sessions will be adjusted to match progress and preferences.
Online formats offer practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and deeper exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility to try different ways of working and keep therapy consistent with daily life.
