About Heather
Heather Pack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She practices in West Virginia and brings a background in school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse treatment. Heather lists stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, ADHD, and related issues among the areas she helps people with.
She has run treatment centers and provided case management for people with severe mental illness. That work gave her experience with a wide range of challenges, including addiction and co-occurring conditions. Heather describes having helped hundreds of clients over the years and uses that practical experience when meeting new people.
Heather blends several practical approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to make space for each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness.
Outside clinical work Heather teaches dance and follows science and nonfiction reading. Those interests inform a down-to-earth style and a focus on real-life coping skills. She returned to online counseling to reconnect with the clinical side of practice and to reach people who may have trouble getting to in-person care.
Heather asks clients to start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. She notes that session fees vary by location and that services operate on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Heather commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Client-centered work means sessions focus on the client's priorities and experience, with the therapist listening and responding to what matters most. CBT involves identifying patterns of thinking that lead to distress and practicing concrete strategies to shift those patterns. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will help clients and therapists weigh goals, symptoms, and preferences to decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process can change over time as needs and goals evolve.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use approaches like CBT worksheets or DBT skills coaching without having to travel, which can make practice between sessions more convenient.
