About Heather
Heather Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 14 years focused clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and anger. She also brings experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence and people with veteran and armed forces concerns.
She uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. That includes practices from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that increase frustration or resentment and on building small, practical skills to respond differently.
Her background includes outpatient behavioral clinic work treating anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. She completed a Bachelor of Social Work at Hardin-Simmons University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver. That training was followed by clinical years serving veterans and people with trauma histories.
In the room she helps people set clear goals and try techniques between sessions. Examples include noticing the thoughts and feelings that push toward anger, testing small behavior changes, and using values to guide responses. She also addresses grief, moral injury, and mood concerns when those come up alongside anger.
People can expect direct, practical conversations about how anger shows up and what to try next. The work centers on learning specific strategies and practicing them in daily life, with regular review of what helps and what needs adjusting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that comes from frustration, guilt, or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses small experiments to test different responses to triggers. That approach is practical for reducing heated reactions and for calmer problem solving. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and increasing their motivation to change small habits; it works well when someone feels stuck about making a different choice.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist will help you and her decide together which approaches fit your goals, symptoms, and day-to-day life. Sessions are collaborative and goals are reviewed regularly so the plan can change if needed.
