About Heather
Heather White-McClane is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Georgia with 30 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, low self-esteem, and depression. Heather focuses on helping people get clearer about what they want and how to respond differently to difficult feelings.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward, practical work. She listens first and then helps people identify patterns that fuel frustration, resentment, or outbursts. Sessions often include learning new ways to respond when anger or impulses arise, and building steady habits that reduce emotional overload.
Heather uses a mix of client-centered listening and skill-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and change it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds tools for emotional regulation and tolerating distress. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques support present-moment awareness and strengthening commitment to change.
Over three decades she has helped people address addiction and relationship-related problems such as communication breakdowns, codependency, and separation stress. She also works with issues tied to abandonment, control struggles, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. Practical steps and steady practice are a common focus.
Heather keeps language plain and goals clear in sessions. She asks what matters most and builds short-term steps toward those goals. The emphasis is on skills people can use right away to reduce flare-ups and handle tension with less wear on relationships.
How her approaches translate to online work
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that escalate anger and then test simpler, more workable ways of thinking. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises to change reactions and reduce stress related to work, relationships, or personal triggers.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are practical tools for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive behavior. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the way sessions are run by prioritizing what the person finds most pressing and keeping the focus on their goals.
Heather treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk through goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That shared decision-making aims to match techniques to real-life needs rather than sticking to a single method.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they’ll use them, such as right after a stressful call or during a break at work.
