About Heather
Heather White-McClane is an LPC with 30 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She practices in Georgia and aims to make therapy a practical, understandable process. Heather focuses on clear steps people can take day to day to feel more in control.
Her approach centers on listening first. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what’s on their mind and notice what matters most. From there she helps people set small goals and try concrete strategies to reduce distress and improve coping.
Over three decades she has helped people facing challenges such as codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues with control or commitment. She also addresses concerns tied to aging, abandonment, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and impulsivity when these come up in sessions.
Heather integrates several well-known methods rather than relying on one tool. She uses client-centered ways to follow each person’s pace, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to support steady progress.
Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life application. Heather helps people build stronger habits, strengthen motivation, and repair communication patterns. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, designed to help people move from feeling stuck to noticing real change over time.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Heather blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people manage difficult feelings and make practical changes. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person’s lead, listens closely, and tailors sessions to what the client says matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving moment-to-moment regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Heather will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made or as challenges shift.
