Heather Kleckinger-Craven

Heather Kleckinger-Craven is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. She has 19 years of experience helping people focus on practical steps that change daily life. Her sessions emphasize finding clear goals and tracking progress over time.

Heather uses a solution-focused attitude during sessions. She works together with clients to identify skills and small changes that build into bigger results. Goal-setting and regular review are part of her process so people can notice what is working and adjust what isn’t.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. That approach is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Heather combines that work with a straightforward focus on solutions so sessions feel practical and directed.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including anger, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related challenges, parenting strain, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with social anxiety, process addictions, guilt and shame, and family-of-origin problems.

Heather aims to make counseling useful and understandable. She invites people to set goals, watch their progress, and find realistic alternatives when a strategy needs changing. To begin, visitors follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule based on availability.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors in everyday life; that approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy is shorter-term and practical, concentrating on small, achievable goals and immediate skills to improve daily routines.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what they prefer. Together they decide which methods to try and check progress as they go, making adjustments when needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for focused check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Some methods, like brief skill practice or thought-record homework from CBT, adapt well to remote sessions and can be continued between meetings to reinforce progress.
