About Heather
Heather White-McClane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and anger. Heather focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions and straightforward talk about what is getting in the way of daily functioning.
She combines client-centered listening with structured tools. That means Heather starts by hearing a person's priorities and then introduces techniques that fit those goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful thoughts, and uses dialectical behavior strategies when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way.
Heather also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to build awareness and to strengthen a person’s drive to change. Sessions tend to be concrete - identifying patterns, practicing new responses, and setting small achievable goals. She explains options clearly and checks in about what is or is not working.
Her experience includes work with issues commonly linked to anger, such as control problems, communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. She helps people talk through relationship strain, life transitions, and substance use concerns that can increase tension.
People considering therapy are guided through a straightforward start-up process: a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Heather practices in Georgia and conducts work in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Heather often blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is useful for anger that comes from repetitive thinking, anxiety, or low mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices. DBT skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practices help increase awareness of triggers and create space before reacting.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and daily life. She checks progress and adjusts techniques as needed so the work stays relevant and usable between sessions.
