About Heather
Heather Osman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate stress and anxiety. She is direct when needed and warm at other times. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life.
With 18 years of experience, Heather uses a person-centered stance that starts with listening. She tailors techniques from several approaches to the needs and comfort level of each person.
Background and approach
That might mean skill-building for managing panic, exploring relationship patterns, or working on sleep and daily routines. Heather has supported people facing depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, and addictions. She also helps with parenting strain, body image, caregiver stress, and coping with major life changes.
When needed she addresses anger, career concerns, eating and food-related issues, and challenges tied to chronic illness. Sessions focus on concrete tools and clear goals. Heather blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness and emotion-focused work when it makes sense.
She also draws from dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly, try new behaviors, and build routines that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
Approaches that work well online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and goals. Online sessions offer space to talk and be heard, with the therapist following your lead and helping you set achievable goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It suits worries like anxiety and sleep problems and often includes simple homework you can use between online sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools help when feelings feel overwhelming and can be practiced during video or text sessions.
Heather will work collaboratively to determine which approaches fit best. This usually starts with listening, then trying methods and adjusting based on what helps you meet your goals. The decision is made together, and approaches can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easy access to regular care. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
