About Heather
Heather Cooper is an Ohio LPCC with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. Heather frames the client as the expert on their own life and helps people name practical next steps.
She listens for what matters most to each person and uses that as a starting point. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes rather than abstract lectures. Heather draws from client-centered therapy to center the person's perspective and from cognitive behavioral tools to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
For people who feel stuck in people-pleasing or who struggle to set limits, she offers concrete skills for boundary-setting and managing strong emotions. When grief, career strain, or changes in relationships show up, Heather helps break those problems down into manageable parts. She also works with concerns often connected to codependency, like losing a sense of self or chronic caretaking patterns.
Her approach can include mindfulness practices and DBT-informed skills for handling intense feelings. Jungian and existential ideas sometimes guide conversations about meaning, values, and identity. Treatment plans typically mix talking, skill practice, and short exercises to use between sessions.
Heather practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first meeting.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Heather uses client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities. That approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can clarify their own goals and values.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns that feed anxiety and unhelpful behaviors. CBT provides practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) methods are drawn on for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with intense reactions and boundary struggles.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Heather will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new issues come up.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in on a break. Talk with the therapist about practical needs so sessions can be arranged to fit routines and communication preferences.
