About Heather
Heather Kerble is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with seven years of practice experience. She helps people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, and issues related to gender and LGBT identity. Her approach centers on listening first and helping clients use their own strengths to make changes.
Heather keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She starts by asking what matters most to the client and what small steps would feel doable.
Background and approach
Many sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming feelings so daily life feels more manageable. Her work draws on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to build calm and focus, and solution-focused strategies to set concrete goals.
When trauma is part of the picture she integrates trauma-informed tools to help people feel steadier and safer in their day-to-day lives. Heather also pays attention to body image, self-esteem, and challenges that come with parenting or major life changes. She supports people dealing with grief, eating concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Her style is collaborative and respectful - she treats each person as the expert on their own life. Located in South Carolina and licensed as an LICSW, Heather offers care in English. She encourages anyone curious about starting therapy to take the first step and explore what a few sessions might feel like.
How Heather’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. Online sessions give space for clients to say what matters and shape the pace and goals of therapy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice different ways of thinking and acting. That makes it useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and translates well to video or phone sessions where homework and skill practice are reviewed together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in and adjust strategies as progress or challenges arise so the plan stays useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video visits are good for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection, and text makes brief updates and reminders simple. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
