Heather Harris

Heather Harris is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, and anger. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience working closely with veterans and people affected by trauma. Heather aims to make the first step toward therapy feel achievable and respectful. Heather uses clear, practical tools in sessions rather than jargon. She often combines techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful action. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are weighing change and need help finding reasons that matter to them. Her background includes many years supporting survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence and working in outpatient settings with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. That work informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and recovery in therapy. Heather describes the process as collaborative and goal-focused. In session she helps people set clear goals, practice coping skills, and try small changes between meetings. She pays attention to each person’s values and what matters to them when planning next steps. Heather aims for a positive and respectful experience. Getting started involves choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. From there clients schedule appointments according to therapist availability and the subscription terms.

How ACT and CBT can guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and problems that come with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing skills that change behavior and mood. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing anger through practical exercises and homework.

Heather also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people are weighing change and need help finding personal reasons to move forward. That approach supports readiness and builds motivation in a respectful way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans based on what helps. The process is interactive and paced by the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use techniques and worksheets between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
