Dr. Heidi Duong

Dr. Heidi Duong helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with eating, body image, and self-esteem. She works with people who feel stuck or unfulfilled and wants to help them find more purpose and consistency in daily life. Her name appears at the start so readers know who leads the work.

She uses a mix of talk-based methods that center on mindful awareness and practical skill building. Sessions look at current behaviors and patterns to find small changes that add up. The focus is on helping each person notice what matters to them and take steps that align with those values.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. Attachment-Based work is used to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Client-Centered principles guide sessions so people feel heard and respected.

Dr. Duong brings seven years of clinical experience as a licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, practicing in Washington. She combines conventional counseling with broader wellness ideas when a person wants that blend. Language of sessions is English and she does not accept international clients.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Mindfulness-focused work helps a person notice thoughts, bodily reactions, and patterns without judgement, and then choose actions that match personal values. This approach can ease anxiety, improve mood, and help with eating and body-image concerns by strengthening moment-to-moment awareness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to accept difficult feelings while committing to value-driven action. It can be useful for stress, avoidance, and situations where someone wants clearer direction about what matters most.

Attachment-Based methods look at how early relationships affect present behavior and emotions. In sessions this can mean tracing relationship patterns and practicing different ways of relating to reduce loneliness or conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust over time as those needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.
