Heather Caiazzo, LMFT

Heather Caiazzo is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 29 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem. She focuses on building coping skills, improving motivation, and strengthening self-worth so clients can move toward a more satisfying life. Heather encourages people to notice their strengths and to take steady steps toward change.

Her approach begins with listening and understanding each person's story. She uses client-centered conversations to help people make sense of what they are feeling. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems stuck and to try new behaviors that feel more helpful.

For people processing traumatic memories, Heather can include EMDR techniques to reduce the intensity of distressing images and feelings. She also draws on emotionally focused methods when relationship patterns and communication problems need attention. Gottman-informed strategies are used when couples want clearer ways to talk and repair conflict.

Heather offers personality assessment work for those who want clearer direction about their natural strengths and life purpose. This can help people understand themselves better and choose goals that fit who they are. Throughout, she frames therapy as a collaborative effort where the client is the expert on their own life.

Heather is licensed as an LMFT in Florida and California and works with adults on a range of concerns including body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, social anxiety, and finding meaning. Sessions are conducted in English and she works from Florida.
