About Heather
Heather Salyers is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with six years of experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Heather aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can share what’s on their mind and start making changes.
She offers shorter and mid-length sessions to fit different needs, and schedules most appointments in the morning and mid-day.
How Heather works
Messaging between sessions is encouraged during the week, and Heather typically replies before evening hours end. The first meeting is usually an assessment to see what brought someone to therapy and to map out a starting plan. Heather uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought and behavior patterns, and on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Trauma-focused work is used when past harm affects daily life. Her style is straightforward and supportive.
Sessions aim to name current problems, practice new skills, and set small steps that are achievable. She works with practical concerns like parenting strain, caregiver stress, grief, and recovery from substance misuse. Heather provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and depend on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Heather's Methods Work Online
Client-centered therapy puts the person's view first. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach suits anyone who wants a respectful, collaborative space to talk through problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change behavior, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Heather will help clients choose which approach or mix of approaches fits best. She discusses goals and preferences in the first sessions and adapts methods as work progresses, making adjustments together rather than imposing a single plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for interactive work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick problem solving, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy days.
