01About Heather
Heather Kleckinger-Craven is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 19 years of experience to her practice in Louisiana. She focuses on practical, solution-oriented work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Heather emphasizes clear goals so progress is easy to see.
In sessions she uses straightforward techniques that help people build skills and try new ways of coping. She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause distress.
Background and approach
Solution-focused methods are used to find immediate, manageable steps clients can use between sessions. Heather works with a wide range of concerns including family of origin issues, divorce and separation, personality-related difficulties, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic porn use. She also supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, sleep disruption, and social anxiety or phobia.
Her work addresses both single issues and co-morbid conditions when they occur together. She asks clients to set goals and reviews them regularly so both therapist and client can track what’s changing. Sessions emphasize skill-building, small experiments, and practical alternatives when something isn’t working.
Heather aims to help people carry improvements into relationships, work, and daily life. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in multiple formats. Heather approaches therapy as a collaborative process, helping each person identify what will work best for their situation.

04Online support
CBT and Solution-Focused Care Online
Heather often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that increase stress or depression. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try small experiments and notice what shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy is also a core part of her work and targets practical change by spotting current strengths and setting short-term goals that produce quick wins.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. If something does not help, she adjusts the plan and tries a different strategy together with the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session with visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for focused check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity over time.
