About Carmen

Carmen Heidecke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related struggles. She speaks English and German and brings eight years of LPC experience to her online practice. Carmen aims to help people find clearer direction and more ease in daily life.

Carmen uses an attachment-based perspective to notice how early connections shape current relationships and feelings. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to keep work practical and grounded.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on identifying beliefs and patterns that keep someone stuck and on trying small, real changes that feel doable. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and encourages experiments outside the therapy hour. That might mean practicing short mindfulness exercises, testing a new way to ask for support, or noticing automatic thoughts that fuel anxiety or shame.

The work attends to emotions in the body as well as the story someone tells about themselves. Carmen also supports people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, substance concerns, ADHD, and issues around identity and relationships. She helps people name control struggles, dissociation, guilt, or feelings of isolation and then build toward more self-compassion and purpose.

Her style is straightforward and warm. Carmen aims to help people move from managing life to living it more fully by focusing on small, actionable shifts over time.

Online support

Attachment and Mindfulness Online

Carmen uses attachment-based ideas to look at how connection patterns shape emotions and relationship responses, which can help when trauma, anxiety, or relationship stress feels stuck. Client-centered therapy is also part of her work and focuses on listening, respect, and the person's own goals so change feels meaningful and self-directed. Mindfulness therapy brings simple practices to notice bodies and thoughts, which helps with overwhelm, anxiety, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carmen will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor a plan that mixes these approaches. She checks in regularly to see what is working and adjusts the focus as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and nonverbal cues, phone calls can fit into a short break or lower bandwidth times, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to get consistent help while fitting therapy into a busy life.
