About Heather

Heather Cooper is an Ohio LPCC with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also helps with depression, grief, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and other life changes.

Heather frames clients as experts in their own stories. She looks for strengths people already use and builds on them. Sessions are practical and straightforward, focusing on the issues a person brings into the room.

Her approach mixes talking and practical skills. She uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation rooted in what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anger or anxiety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is part of her toolkit for learning emotion regulation and managing intense feelings without acting on them. Heather also draws from existential and Jungian ideas to help people clarify values and personal meaning when life shifts or grief arrives.

People can expect clear goals and tools to practice between sessions. Heather often offers exercises to try at home and checks in on how those tactics are working. She emphasizes collaboration so goals stay realistic and relevant.

Her work suits adults dealing with resentment, snapping at loved ones, workplace frustration, or recurring irritability. Those unsure how to begin are encouraged to complete the practice's short matching questions before scheduling a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps bring clarity to personal goals and keeps sessions focused on the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on recognizing and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep anger or anxiety going. It often involves clear exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That collaborative check helps make sure the tools she offers feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are supported. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people try practical exercises from their usual environment, which can help test what works in real life. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to keep therapy actionable and manageable alongside work and family commitments.
