About Heather
Heather Harris is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people coping with life changes and those dealing with trauma from sexual assault or domestic violence.
Heather brings 14 years of clinical experience working with veterans and people facing mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. She draws on straightforward, skills-based approaches to help people reduce symptoms and build more effective daily routines.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and aimed at small, doable steps. Her style is warm and direct. Heather listens first, then helps people set clear goals.
She uses concrete exercises and homework people can try between sessions to practice new ways of responding to stress and anger. Heather’s work includes elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods guide conversations about values, thought patterns, motivation, and trauma recovery.
People who come to Heather can expect a collaborative plan that matches their needs and pace. She emphasizes realistic strategies for coping, reducing reactivity, and improving mood. The approach is steady and practical rather than quick fixes.

Online approaches for trauma, mood, and anger
Heather commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts, and commit to actions that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.She also incorporates elements of Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. That approach uses open questions and reflective listening to boost motivation and confidence for taking next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend methods to try. They adjust the plan as progress and challenges become clearer so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, short skills practice, or when a full session is not possible. These options make it easier to attend therapy from home, work, or while traveling and help therapy fit into busy lives.
