About Heather
Heather Callam is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with ten years of clinical experience supporting people who want to overcome long-standing burdens and regain direction in their lives.
Background and approach
She centers her work on helping clients explore difficult feelings and hidden patterns that can keep them stuck, offering practical strategies alongside empathic listening. Her training includes cognitive behavioral approaches as well as mindfulness-informed and emotionally-focused interventions that help clients address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns.
In session she aims to create an authentic, nonjudgmental environment where clients can name painful experiences and practice new ways of responding. Heather blends acceptance- and values-oriented techniques with client-centered care to support goals such as improving self-esteem, navigating life changes, managing stress, and working through grief or intimacy-related issues.
She also addresses a broad range of related topics including parenting challenges, career stress, bipolar and mood concerns, and issues connected to adoption, abandonment, or family-of-origin dynamics. Based in Alabama, Heather works with adults in English and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different needs.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to take the first step toward change when they are ready.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth
Heather commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her online practice. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility, using mindfulness and acceptance strategies to support coping with difficult emotions and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit each person. That means early sessions often explore what matters most to the client and which strategies feel most helpful before settling into a consistent plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and access therapeutic support from wherever the client is located within her practice region. Heather aims to combine approachable, evidence-informed methods with practical accessibility to support steady progress.
