About Heather
Heather Pack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She practices in West Virginia and has worked across school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse settings. Heather lists stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT issues among the topics she addresses.
Her background includes running treatment centers for addiction and providing case management for people living with schizophrenia. She has worked with hundreds of clients and draws on that range of experience when meeting someone new. Heather also currently works as a school counselor in West Virginia while offering clinical counseling through this online option.
In sessions she uses straightforward, practical methods. She draws on client-centered therapy to follow what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to identify patterns of thought and build skills for managing strong emotions like anger.
Heather also uses hypnotherapy and mindfulness approaches when a client and she agree those methods might help. She mixes coaching-style conversation with therapeutic techniques for life changes and habit shifts. When someone struggles with resentment, temper, or reacting under stress, she focuses on concrete skills and clear steps.
Away from counseling she teaches dance and reads nonfiction about trauma recovery. That practical curiosity feeds her work and how she helps people build routines and coping strategies. To begin, the site’s matching process is used to schedule an initial session.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Heather commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach means sessions begin by listening to the client’s concerns and building a working plan around those priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship stressors like recurring anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts methods as needs change, combining skills training, mindfulness, or brief hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking.

Heather uses the session matching and scheduling process on the site to plan an initial meeting and discuss which methods will be used going forward.
