About Heather
Heather Rink-Rosas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, mood concerns, and struggles with addictions.

Heather uses a straightforward, flexible approach. She listens first, then helps clients name patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit each person's life and goals. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every meeting.
Her work draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and stress. Heather also incorporates techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they match a client's needs. She adjusts methods to what helps someone make steady changes.
In therapy she helps people speak about hard things and try small changes between sessions. She builds a shared plan with clear goals and checks progress as therapy continues. Heather acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and supports clients through that first step.
Heather provides services in English and Spanish. Because her practice is in California, logistical details like scheduling and fees may vary by location and availability. Clients who want to begin are invited to follow the platform steps to match and schedule a session.
How Heather’s approaches work in online therapy
Heather commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors shape mood and then try different actions to reduce distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches people to accept difficult feelings while focusing on honest values and committed steps toward goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about their goals and daily life, then suggest methods that fit. Clients and therapist decide together what techniques to try and how to adjust them over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into packed schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work with a therapist who speaks their language without needing to change offices. Heather aims to help clients use therapy in ways that fit real life and responsibilities.
