Heather Baker is a licensed professional counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns.
01About Heather
Heather Baker is a licensed professional counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. She works with issues like grief, intimacy-related problems, parenting challenges, ADHD, and support for LGBT clients. Heather keeps language simple and practical in sessions.
Heather uses a mix of talk and skills practice. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she helps clients try tools that fit their daily life, such as breathing and grounding exercises, thought habits to reduce anxiety, and clearer ways to talk with partners or family.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral tools and trauma-focused methods. That means sessions often focus on what the client wants, plus concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is one of the approaches she may use when trauma memories are getting in the way.
Heather draws on six years of clinical experience and practices in Tennessee as an LPC, or licensed professional counselor. She aims to be warm and direct, and to tailor therapy to each person’s background and beliefs. She values the client’s perspective as central to the work.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and everyday practice. Heather helps people understand where their problems began and then build small habits that reduce symptoms and improve relationships. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

04Online support
How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s priorities and life experience. Online sessions let people bring what matters to them and guide the agenda, while the therapist reflects and helps clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In remote sessions Heather can teach practical CBT skills like tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and building new routines that reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories. When appropriate, Heather may use EMDR elements adapted for online work to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their effects on daily life. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep progress between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.05Questions people ask
