Heather Nelson, LCSW, CSW

Heather Nelson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 26 years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Heather also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, addiction concerns, codependency, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She adapts sessions to each person and uses practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when those fit a person’s needs.

In a typical session Heather talks through current problems, helps identify patterns that keep situations stuck, and practices skills you can use between meetings. She aims to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable strategies as well as understanding how past relationships shape present reactions.

Heather’s background includes long experience across clinical settings, which gives her familiarity with complex situations such as co-morbidity, chronic health challenges, caregiving stress, and adoption or foster care issues. She works in English and practices in Georgia as an LCSW and CSW.
