About Heather

Heather McKethan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with a decade of clinical experience supporting people facing anger, depression, relationship challenges, and a wide range of life stressors.

Background and approach

She emphasizes understanding each client's story and building on existing strengths to help them explore choices and find practical ways forward. Her background includes work with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting and career stresses, and conditions such as ADHD and autism spectrum presentations.

In sessions she blends evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and person-centered practices, offering a toolkit of strategies tailored to individual goals. Heather approaches therapy with respect and compassion and aims to help clients answer their own questions while learning new skills for coping, decision-making, and emotional regulation.

She invites those ready to take a next step to engage collaboratively and uses a flexible set of techniques to meet each person where they are in the process.

Approaches to Growth and How Online Therapy Works



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior contributing to distress and then develop alternative coping strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages openness to difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action, which can be helpful for stress, chronic worry, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports clients in finding their own solutions, which can be particularly useful when people need space to explore identity, relationships, or purpose.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and may draw from CBT, ACT, and client-centered techniques to create a tailored plan. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the work evolves to fit what actually helps.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from home or work. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support while adapting how sessions are conducted to match each person's comfort and lifestyle.
