About Heather
Heather Harris is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 14 years of clinical experience working in Texas. She supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and anger. Her background also includes work related to domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, guilt, and shame.
Heather uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. Motivational Interviewing is used to build motivation for change. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs work with people who have experienced assault or partner violence.
Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies to reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings. Heather helps clients identify triggers, practice grounding and breathing techniques, and rehearse different responses to stressful situations. She also supports people who are rebuilding safety and coping after traumatic experiences.
Her veteran-focused experience informs how she approaches moral injury, military-related stress, and transition challenges. Heather combines talk-based work with concrete exercises clients can use between sessions. She frames progress as small, practical steps rather than instant solutions.
Heather asks clients to set clear, achievable goals and tracks them over time. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Heather uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It emphasizes values-based action so someone can act in ways that matter, even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.Heather will work with each person to find the best approach. She collaborates with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means trying practical exercises, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans as needed rather than sticking to a fixed prescription.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without commuting, or using phone sessions when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can still guide breathing and grounding practices, coach new coping skills, and assign between-session exercises that fit day-to-day routines.
