01About Heather
Heather OConnell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She uses clear, evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and challenges like ADHD and self-esteem concerns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness-based tools are offered to build calm and steady attention in daily life. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past hurts affect current safety and relationships.
Background and approach
Heather has seven years of experience in counseling, including work in community mental health settings. That time brought varied clinical situations and practice with mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and young adult issues. She aims to form a reliable therapeutic relationship and to adapt methods to each person’s needs.
In sessions she breaks things into manageable steps. She helps clients set small goals, practice new skills between meetings, and track what changes. Many clients come for help with communication problems, loneliness, impulsivity, or the strain of life transitions.
Heather speaks English and provides online options from Ohio. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, with a focus on learning skills that can be used outside of sessions. People who want practical tools and steady support may find her style a good fit.

How Heather's Approaches Work Online
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change small behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and goal oriented and often helps with anxiety, panic, mood problems, and ADHD-related patterns.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity, manage stress, and improve focus in daily life. For those whose history includes traumatic events, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to gently address past wounds and reduce their ongoing impact on mood and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Heather works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as needed, and checks in regularly about what feels useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into school, work, or busy days.
