About Heather
Dr. Heather Clark helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She works with concerns like loneliness, family of origin issues, body image, and struggles around purpose.

Background and approach
Mindfulness-based exercises are used to help calm the body and bring attention back to the present moment. She also uses solution-focused techniques to build practical steps and goals that feel doable. Sessions often center on small experiments, clear problem-solving, and skills that can be tried right away.
This approach is meant to produce noticeable changes without overwhelming the client. Heather holds a Ph.D. in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in Missouri and has 19 years of clinical experience.
Her work is conversational and goal-oriented. People who come to her are often asked to set a few clear aims for therapy, try short exercises between meetings, and check progress together. The pace is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs.
How these approaches work online
Dr. Clark commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. CBT helps people notice patterns of thought that increase worry or low mood and then try new, practical ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and bring focus back to the present moment, which can help with emotional overwhelm and trauma symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Heather will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adapt techniques to fit the person’s life and adjust the plan as progress is tracked over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send quick updates, try brief exercises, or fit support into a busy day. These options help people keep continuity and make therapy easier to fit into daily routines.
