About Heather
Heather White-McClane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and issues around commitment and control.
Heather uses practical, person-centered methods to help people name problems and try small changes. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills that can reduce distress. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on mindfulness exercises to increase awareness and reduce reactivity.
Her work also includes strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when motivation and emotional regulation are central. That combination is often used with people working through substance or alcohol issues, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness. Heather helps people practice tools in everyday life, then reviews what worked in the next session.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and obstacles. Heather aims to make sessions practical and grounded, with clear steps to try between meetings. She encourages honest, direct talk about setbacks and progress.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Heather commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities so sessions follow what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, or change patterns that feed addictions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT supplies concrete tools for handling intense feelings and for improving communication in stressful moments. Each approach is used as needed rather than as a single fixed method.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will review your goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then suggest methods to try. She treats the selection as collaborative and adjusts strategies based on what is effective for you.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when your schedule is tight, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on practicing skills between sessions and reviewing what helps in day-to-day life.
