About Heather

Heather Chavis is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with nine years of experience.

Heather also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes that add up. Motivational interviewing-style conversations help clarify what someone really wants and how to stay motivated. Together these methods support people through life changes, parenting challenges, and workplace stress.

People who meet with Heather can expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and practical coping skills. She emphasizes steady improvements and supports clients as they try new strategies. If you want to address anxiety, depression, or everyday overwhelm, Heather works to help you move forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Heather often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress by breaking problems into concrete steps and experiments.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, building trust, and letting each person lead the pace and direction of work. This approach helps people feel heard and make choices that fit their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday needs. That process can include trying different tools and checking what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since none are listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between other obligations. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises, cognitive tools, and motivational conversations in the moment, helping people practice skills in real life situations.
