About Heather
Heather McClure Mann is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience helping people find steadiness and confidence during hard times. She frames therapy as a blend of warm support and clear, practical guidance. Sessions are meant to be both reflective and action-oriented, so people leave with ideas they can try between meetings.
Heather focuses on anxiety, stress, and life transitions as well as issues like self-esteem and career concerns.
Background and approach
She also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and challenges related to relationships and intimacy. Her work includes attention to attachment, abandonment, codependency, and caregivers' strain. Her approach mixes several evidence-based methods.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and client-centered techniques to fit the moment. That mix lets sessions shift between talking through feelings and practicing new skills. In a typical session Heather listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then helps design steps to change them.
This may include examining core beliefs, learning coping skills, or building a plan to handle triggers. The balance is practical tools plus attention to inner experience. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and with individual clients and groups over nearly three decades.
People who want straightforward guidance, gentle challenge, and a focus on building resilience tend to find this style helpful.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them drive behavior, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for chronic worry, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current expectations and reactions, which can help when interpersonal problems or abandonment wounds are present.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that match those aims, and adjust based on what helps. The aim is to combine skill-building and insight so clients can practice new ways of coping between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and run skill practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing accountability. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during transitions, and try formats that suit quieter check-ins or more frequent touchpoints.
