About Heather
Heather Pack is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. She has worked across school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse settings.
That background included running treatment programs and providing case management for people with serious mental health needs. Those roles shaped her interest in straightforward, skills-based work that helps people manage daily challenges.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses client-centered conversations alongside tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques when they fit a person's goals. Heather aims to teach clear skills for coping, emotion regulation, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
She values practical steps over jargon. Typical work might include building routines, practicing new coping skills, or developing plans to reduce substance use and manage mood swings. Heather likes to set small, measurable goals so people can see progress between sessions.
Outside of therapy she teaches dance and reads widely about trauma and recovery. She is currently based in West Virginia and provides remote sessions for adults who prefer video, phone, chat, or messaging formats.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Heather often uses client-centered work to build a strong therapeutic relationship by listening closely and tailoring sessions to each person's needs. Client-centered sessions focus on the client's priorities, helping them set goals and explore options for change.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and develop better routines for mood and attention, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Heather will discuss different methods and try strategies together, adjusting plans based on what helps most. That means clients help choose goals and decide which techniques to keep using.
Online sessions offer flexibility for adults juggling work, school, or caregiving. Video calls let therapists demonstrate skills and observe behavior, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or quick skill practice. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions and maintain progress despite busy schedules or transportation limits.
