01About Heather
Heather Pack is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. Heather aims to make therapy approachable for those juggling busy lives or limited transportation options.
She has worked in school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse settings. That background includes running treatment programs and providing case management for people with serious mental health needs.
Background and approach
Those varied roles shaped a flexible approach to common problems like depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Heather often uses Client-Centered methods to build trust and meet people where they are. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping.
Mindfulness and hypnotherapy are additional tools she may introduce when they fit a person's goals. Her interests outside counseling include teaching dance and reading about recovery stories, which inform her belief in resilience and practical, human-centered care. She describes herself as curious about science and the wider world, and she brings that curiosity into therapy conversations.
Heather provides sessions from West Virginia and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She aims to work collaboratively to set goals and find strategies that fit each person’s daily life.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Heather often combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with online clients. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting what matters most, and shaping goals together. It helps people feel heard and understood before practical work begins. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches steps to change unhelpful reactions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and building distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and grounding during overwhelming moments. Heather treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to find the best-fit methods based on their needs and goals.
Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer typed conversations. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain consistent support.
