About Heather
Heather White-McClane is an LPC with 30 years of experience who blends evidence-informed techniques to help people address persistent stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based methods to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with values that support healthier choices. Her practice emphasizes motivation and practical problem solving for substance-related concerns and impulse-driven behaviors while attending to emotional wounds that underlie many presenting problems.
Working from Georgia, she draws on decades of clinical work to tailor strategies for issues including abandonment, codependency, communication and control struggles, and the fallout of divorce or family conflict. Heather also supports people facing guilt, shame, aging and geriatric issues, gender dysphoria concerns, HIV/AIDS complications, and grief around emptiness and loss.
Her style centers on respectful listening and collaborative planning, encouraging clients to articulate goals and test new behaviors between sessions as part of steady progress.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy
Heather often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and develop measurable strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy is also a foundation of her work, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring goals and values. She may incorporate dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when those skills fit a client's needs.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring to sessions and then adapt methods accordingly. That flexibility helps ensure the therapy plan feels relevant and practical for daily life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions, practice new skills in real time, and access support from Georgia without commuting to an office.
