About Heather
Heather Salyers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience based in Kentucky. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, or problems with motivation and self-esteem. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel doable and supportive.
Heather creates a welcoming space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. She begins with an initial session that functions as an assessment to understand what brought someone to therapy and to map next steps.
Background and approach
Session lengths can be 30 or 45 minutes based on client preference. Her background includes work addressing trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and a range of relationship and family concerns. She also helps with issues like attachment, adoption and foster care histories, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.
Heather brings practical skills for coping with life changes and anger management. Therapeutic tools she uses include client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused work. These methods are used to set goals, build skills, and change patterns that keep people stuck.
Heather encourages messaging between sessions to keep momentum and connection. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Appointments are scheduled mainly in the morning and mid-day, and she sees clients up to six days a week with occasional Sunday hours.
Approaches for online care and practical support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, then following the client's lead to set goals and priorities. This approach is useful when someone wants a respectful space to sort through feelings and make choices that feel right for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises and practice between sessions to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Heather will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit. She adjusts plans together over time if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide options for different situations. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy mornings and mid-day schedules and to keep work moving between sessions.
