About Heather
Heather White-McClane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience in Georgia. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anger, and handle anxiety so daily life feels more manageable. She also helps people who are struggling with addiction, low self-esteem, or depression.
Heather uses straightforward talk and active listening to help people name what feels hard. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Background and approach
When patterns keep repeating, she uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. For people who struggle with intense emotions or impulsivity, she brings in skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone wants to change behaviors but feels stuck or ambivalent.
Heather also addresses related issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication and control problems, grief from divorce or separation, and struggles with guilt and shame. She supports people facing aging and geriatric concerns, HIV/AIDS, or gender dysphoria, tailoring sessions to the person in front of her. Sessions are practical and goal-focused.
Heather aims to help people build clearer choices and small, steady steps toward better coping. She respects the courage it takes to begin therapy and works alongside clients as they try new ways of handling life’s challenges.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Heather blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice what they want to change and try out new responses. Client-centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities while building trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for people who experience strong emotions or impulsivity, teaching concrete techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Together these approaches give both understanding and practical tools, and she will collaborate with each person to choose which methods feel most useful for their goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera isn't needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or busy days while keeping the focus on real behavior changes and coping skills.
