About Heather

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama and brings three years of clinical experience to her work. Heather aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk about what matters most to them.
Her practice blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation, focusing on concrete tools for coping and emotion regulation.
How Heather works
That can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building skills to manage strong emotions, and practicing grounding exercises. Heather also draws on Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy to help people understand their stories and notice how thoughts and feelings affect day-to-day choices. She often works with concerns such as self-esteem, anger, mood disorders, panic, and the aftermath of abuse or trauma.
She supports people through life transitions like pregnancy and postpartum changes as well. Practical problems like isolation, impulsivity, body image, and feelings of emptiness are addressed with clear strategies and goal-focused discussion. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with Heather helping clients set and track small, meaningful goals.
Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support. Starting therapy can feel hard, and Heather frames the work as a partnership. She helps people find realistic steps toward feeling more capable and balanced in daily life.

Working with CBT, DBT, and Person-Centered Care Online
Heather often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with a Client-Centered approach. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which is useful for anger, impulsivity, and mood instability. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and tailoring conversations to what matters most to the individual.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift, and she works alongside clients to adjust techniques and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and text messaging is good for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make regular contact easier to schedule around work, parenting, or other daily demands.
