About Heather

Heather Salyers is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and related concerns. Heather creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about thoughts and everyday habits that affect their mood and choices. She sees seeking help as a brave first step and offers support through that process.

Heather uses straightforward conversations to learn what brought someone to therapy. The first session is often an assessment to figure out priorities and goals. She encourages messaging between sessions and aims to respond promptly during the week until about 8 pm.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Heather helps people notice thought patterns and daily habits that keep problems going. Then she works with them to try new responses and small changes that fit into busy lives.

Heather offers sessions in 30- or 45-minute lengths based on client preference. She is available six days a week with some Sunday hours, and currently schedules appointments in the morning and mid-day. She accepts video, chat, and phone sessions to match what feels most comfortable.

Clients can expect clear communication about next steps and a focus on real-life changes. Heather supports people through grief, relationship strains, parenting stresses, addiction concerns, and life transitions while keeping conversations grounded and doable.

How Heather uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Heather uses this approach to make sure people feel heard and to guide therapy at the person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Heather uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different habits that reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Heather will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Heather offers sessions by video, chat, and phone as listed in her profile, so confirm current options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Messaging between sessions is encouraged to keep momentum and share quick updates. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt tools like CBT and client-centered work to an online format while helping people focus on thoughts and everyday habits that affect daily life.
