Dr. Heather Clark

Dr. Heather Clark is a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and feelings of isolation and loneliness. She works with adults in emerging and early adulthood and focuses on helping them calm their minds and bodies. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at daily life challenges rather than abstract theory.

Clients can expect clear tools to manage strong emotions and intrusive thoughts. She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more realistic perspectives. Mindfulness practices and guided imagery are woven into sessions to help with grounding and emotional regulation.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling, and a Ph.D. in Psychology. Dr. Clark holds an LPC credential, and she brings nearly two decades of clinical work to each session. This experience guides a calm, steady style that focuses on what helps most right now.

Sessions emphasize short-term skill building alongside deeper self-reflection when needed. Solution-Focused Therapy techniques are used to set concrete goals and notice small changes that add up. Many people find this mix useful for coping with life transitions, improving self-esteem, and reducing feelings of isolation.

Overall, Heather aims to create a practical space where clients learn manageable steps for everyday life. She partners with people to build skills they can use between sessions and to clarify their next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Clark commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical ways to reframe thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can ease rumination and feelings of emptiness.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and notice small steps of progress. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try first, adjusting as work continues.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the currently offered formats before booking since session options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises and imagery between meetings, helping people practice skills in their day-to-day routines.
