About Heather
Heather Whitt is a licensed clinician in Kentucky who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She also supports clients navigating LGBT concerns, low self-esteem, and the fallout from trauma and sexual assault. Heather writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the first session.
Her style is calm and affirming. She guides conversations toward practical steps that fit daily life. Sessions focus on small, doable changes - coping skills, thought patterns, and ways to manage cravings or panic in the moment.
Background and approach
Heather has eight years of clinical experience and holds the LPCC credential, which reflects her state licensure. That experience includes work with people facing chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues. She brings that background to shape realistic plans for recovery and growth.
In sessions she balances empathy with structure. Conversations may include skills practice, breathing and grounding exercises, and planning for triggers. She helps clients set short-term goals and track progress so change feels measurable.
Heather aims to create a supportive space where clients can rebuild self-love and confidence. She works with people on problems like social anxiety and addiction, and on sexual identity or sexuality questions. Her approach centers on collaboration and steady, practical steps toward feeling better.
Approaches that guide online care
Heather uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and processing difficult experiences. One approach centers on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and thought-challenging exercises that reduce symptoms in daily life. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed work, helping people unpack past events safely while developing strategies to manage triggers and rebuild emotional safety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. Sessions evolve over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit care into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief updates or to process thoughts between sessions. These options add flexibility so therapy can happen around work, care duties, or medical appointments.
