About Heather
Heather Pack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with 15 years of experience. She has worked in school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse settings. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, ADHD, and codependency among other issues.
She has run addiction treatment centers and provided case management for people with schizophrenia, so she knows both program-level care and one-to-one clinical work. She draws on that range when planning sessions, balancing practical skills with space to talk through hard experiences. Sessions often include clear tools for coping alongside reflective conversation.
Heather uses several approaches to help people manage symptoms and patterns. Client-centered methods put the person’s goals first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
She also integrates mindfulness and hypnotherapy when those fit a person’s goals, and she applies motivational interviewing to support change around behaviors like substance use. Her background in schools means she is familiar with developmental and family stressors even though she focuses on individual therapy.
Heather mentions enjoying dance and reading about recovery and resilience outside of work. That blend of practical clinical experience and interest in how people recover informs her straightforward, skills-focused approach to therapy.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. In practice this means sessions start with what matters to the client and the therapist follows that lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with practical tools for crisis moments and everyday regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and life. That might mean more skills practice in one phase, and more reflective conversation in another. The choice is adjusted based on how a person responds over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistent weekly work and for using tools and worksheets together during a meeting.
