More about Heather

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am licensed in Kentucky with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I try to accommodate clients by offering session lengths of 30 or 45 minutes depending on preference. I am also available 6 days per week with occasional hours on Sunday. I accept video, chat or phone sessions in order to meet your needs and make you feel comfortable during this process. Please note that the first session is often an assessment in order to understand what brought you to therapy and where we should begin.

Currently I am ONLY offering APPOINTMENTS IN THE MORNING and MID-DAY.

Messaging is encouraged throughout the week and I reply as quickly as possible, with the exception of work hours ending at 8 pm.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
