About Heather
Heather Whitt is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Kentucky with eight years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, self-esteem concerns, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT identity, including social anxiety and phobia. Heather helps people who are managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, or the effects of past trauma.
In sessions she listens to what feels most pressing and helps people make concrete changes. She talks through patterns that keep someone stuck and suggests small, practical steps to try between meetings. Sessions often focus on managing symptoms of anxiety, reducing alcohol or drug harms, and rebuilding self-regard after sexual assault or family hurt.

People can expect a steady, organized approach in sessions. Heather helps with planning for day-to-day stressors, practicing social situations, and developing relapse prevention strategies for addiction. She also supports people navigating sexuality and identity questions, and those coping with chronic pain or long-term illness.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
Heather uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and addiction. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with practical exercises to try between sessions that can help with social anxiety and phobia. Motivational strategies help people who are struggling with drug or alcohol use by clarifying goals and building small, achievable steps toward change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what helps most and adjusting methods as the work progresses so the plan fits how someone wants to engage.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut down travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also let people practice social skills or relaxation techniques in familiar settings while getting therapist feedback. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so online work stays practical and usable in everyday life.
