About Heather
Heather Pack is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Heather also helps those coping with life changes, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She practices in West Virginia and offers counseling through an online pathway to reach people who have trouble getting to in-person care.
Heather began her career in school counseling and broadened her work into mental health and substance abuse settings. She has run addiction treatment programs and provided case management for people living with serious mental illness. That variety of work gave her a lot of hands-on experience with different life challenges and recovery paths.
Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring strategies to what each person needs. She uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person and their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help with changing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits that keep problems going.
Heather also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy are additional options she may bring in to support stress reduction and coping. She emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions.
Outside of clinical work, Heather teaches dance and enjoys reading about resilience and recovery. That background informs her belief that people can grow after hard experiences. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session through the Start Therapy flow.

How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Heather uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions around each person's goals and values, providing attentive listening and collaborative planning to fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and daily habits, with concrete exercises to practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss preferences, needs, and specific challenges and then try strategies that feel like a good match. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made based on what helps most.
Online care can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week and remove travel time. It can also make shorter check-ins or skills practice simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. The site’s Start Therapy flow includes a brief matching questionnaire so people can confirm session options and schedule according to the therapist's availability before booking.
