About Heather
Heather Dillard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for those facing major life changes, career questions, or burnout from caregiving and compassion fatigue. Heather speaks English and offers sessions using online formats that suit different schedules and needs.
Heather blends practical talk with attention to the body. She uses client-centered methods to build a trusting space and cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try new actions.
How Heather works
Mindfulness and somatic techniques help people notice physical tension and learn ways to reduce it. Her work also focuses on trauma and post-traumatic stress, and on concerns that overlap with physical health like chronic pain, illness, and disability. She aims to help people reconnect with purpose and daily routines that feel manageable.
Sessions include coaching elements when clients want concrete steps toward goals. Heather has 13 years of experience as a counselor. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the pace and methods used.
Many people appreciate clear, practical tools alongside emotional support. All sessions are offered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and resilience
Heather frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where the client sets goals and the therapist follows. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they most want from therapy.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and experiment with small behavior changes. CBT can help when anxiety, low mood, or motivation problems get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that match those priorities. Adjustments are made over time if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats aim to increase flexibility and keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
