About
About Heather
Heather White-McClane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also works with concerns such as codependency, communication and control problems, commitment issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
Heather uses practical, talk-and-skill based methods in sessions. She listens to what feels most urgent, then helps people name patterns and try small changes. That might mean learning ways to notice automatic thoughts, practicing calmer responses to strong feelings, or building steps to reduce reliance on substances or unhealthy relationship patterns.
Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She blends active skill teaching with gentle examination of the stories people tell themselves. Sessions emphasize skills people can use between appointments.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person's moods will find concrete tools here. Heather helps clients map where those patterns come from and how they show up now. Work often focuses on setting boundaries, managing cravings or impulses, and reducing shame and guilt.
She practices in Georgia and conducts work in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to arrange a first session. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Heather applies therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters most. It helps people notice what they want to change and supports them in deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks big problems into smaller parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and teaches clear skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce impulsive reactions and improve relationships.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Heather will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and practical constraints. Together they try methods that match the person's needs and adjust over time based on what is working.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used for remote work. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills between meetings. It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions without video when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Licensed professionals tailor timing and pacing so therapy fits into everyday life while focusing on skill building and clearer decision making.
