How Heather works
Her approach combines talk-based work with tools that can be used between sessions. Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to improve moment-to-moment awareness, and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is a central concern.
Heather has licensure as an LICSW and practices in South Carolina. She has worked in settings where people bring a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, relationship challenges, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. She also attends to issues like guilt, shame, communication problems, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Sessions are offered in English and provided through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Heather aims to support people who are ready to take first steps toward change, offering a collaborative, calm, and practical style.

How Heather’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In sessions the therapist reflects what is said, asks clarifying questions, and helps the client name their goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to understand what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, combines talk with clear exercises. It helps people notice thinking patterns, try out different behaviors, and test what changes feel useful. CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, low mood, and managing everyday stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These help reduce reactivity and increase calm during stressful moments. Mindfulness pairs well with other approaches when daily regulation is a focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes scheduling more flexible. Video works well for longer sessions and visual connection. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or hands-free is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and busy days.
