Heather Scarboro, LCMHC

Heather Scarboro is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor practicing in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar mood issues. Sessions are presented in English and Heather accepts international clients.

Heather uses practical, person-focused methods in session. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in what matters to the client. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships.

Her background includes work across elder care, community mental health, and university settings, plus experience supporting LGBTQIAP+ communities and front-line workers. Heather has lived experience with dissociative disorders and has long been an advocate for better public understanding of those diagnoses.

In sessions she often combines structured skills teaching with narrative work and body-focused approaches such as EMDR and clinical hypnosis where appropriate. That can mean practicing calming strategies, naming patterns that feed anger or resentment, and trying interventions that shift emotional reactions over time.

Outside of clinical work she engages in expressive arts like music and dance and shares information through blogs, podcasts, and presentations. For people wanting a practical way to manage temper or reactivity, she focuses on clear tools, steady check-ins, and figuring out what fits the person’s life.
