About Heather
Heather Burrell is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She brings a calm, respectful approach and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better. Heather aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for anyone who is nervous about starting therapy.
She listens first and adapts sessions to what each person needs. Heather uses straightforward conversation to identify immediate concerns and workable goals.
Background and approach
She checks in about progress and adjusts plans as needed rather than relying on one fixed method. Heather blends talk-focused methods that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and build small wins.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure how to make a change. Over 12 years of practice in Texas have given her experience with a range of life challenges.
Heather has supported people dealing with relationship strain, attention challenges like ADHD, issues tied to adoption and foster care, family of origin concerns, seasonal mood changes, and recovery after sexual assault or abuse. Sessions are shaped to each person’s pace and needs.
Heather aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through worries, build coping skills, and take gradual steps toward the life they want.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. Heather uses this approach to build trust, reflect concerns, and help people make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions and live chat are useful when bandwidth or a quick check-in matters. Text-based messaging can be helpful for brief updates and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic techniques discussed in sessions.
