Heath Rossi, LPC

Heath Rossi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship concerns. He supports people facing trauma, struggles with self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, intimacy-related issues, and concerns around sexuality and LGBTQ topics. He also works with people dealing with workplace strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and major life changes.

He takes a practical approach in sessions. Conversations are straightforward and focused on clear goals. He offers tools and skills people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control. Sessions move at a pace each person finds comfortable.

Heath uses a mix of approaches tailored to what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and communication patterns. He also draws from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness strategies when those fit.

He believes healing is a learned process and recovery often includes practical problem solving. He emphasizes thinking clearly, making wiser choices, and building skills that support daily life. Therapy focuses on steps that bring relief and build resilience.

He values diversity and invites people to bring their whole selves into sessions. He practices from Oregon and offers online formats for people who need flexible ways to meet.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Heath commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, and he integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape trust, closeness, and communication, which can help with intimacy and relationship struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They will try strategies, get feedback, and adapt the plan so it fits the client's needs and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and learning new skills. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or maintaining momentum between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep progress going from wherever they are.
