About Heather
Heather Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama. She uses a warm, respectful style to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. Heather speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy feel approachable and doable.
She draws on client-centered work to focus on each person’s priorities. That means conversations are guided by the client’s goals and lived experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety and mood problems.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are brought in when intense emotions, impulsivity, or difficulty with regulation are present. Mindfulness exercises and narrative approaches help people notice patterns and reframe unhelpful stories about themselves. Heather adapts these methods to match what the client needs at the moment.
Her background includes three years of clinical practice in Alabama supporting people through trauma, postpartum concerns, panic, and mood disorders. She also assists with issues such as attachment, body image, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions focus on building practical skills for daily life.
Heather works with clients to create steps they can use between meetings, whether that means coping tools, new routines, or fresh ways of thinking. The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
How Heather's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on the person first and lets sessions follow the client's goals and concerns. Online this means conversations begin with what matters most to the client and therapy is adjusted as progress is made.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and depression going. In virtual sessions Heather can teach simple CBT exercises and homework that clients use between meetings to change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques translate well to online formats and can be practiced during short check-ins or longer video sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with clients to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. The plan can shift as progress is made or new concerns arise.
Online therapy with Heather uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work for brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers shorter, written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
