About Heather
Heather Pantalone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She speaks plainly and works with each person at their own pace. Her aim is to create a steady, hopeful space where clients can talk about what matters most.
Heather draws on ten years of experience and several approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and to try out new behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and emotional regulation skills are woven into sessions to help calm the nervous system and reduce reactivity. Many people come to her for help with relationships, parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns, sleep problems, and career stress. She also supports people facing trauma or intense mood shifts and those looking for coaching-style support to reach goals.
Work often focuses on clear, practical steps and small changes that add up over time. In sessions Heather helps clients set realistic goals and build simple strategies to reach them. She pays attention to attachment patterns and communication habits that affect relationships.
Progress is tracked in ways that fit each person’s life and schedule. Heather practices in Texas and offers sessions in English. She partners with clients for as long as needed, whether the work is brief or longer term.
The focus is on steady growth, clearer choices, and better ways to cope with the problems that brought someone in.
How Heather’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It supports work on anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like worry or sleep problems. Those experiments translate well to remote sessions and homework between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape present relationships and can help with intimacy and communication struggles. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then choose or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments happen as progress is tracked. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use body language and face-to-face discussion. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is hard. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and flexible scheduling. These options help people practice skills between sessions and keep therapy consistent despite a busy schedule.Questions people ask
