About Heather
Heather Pack is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 15 years of experience in school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse counseling. She practices in West Virginia and offers counseling in English. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting and intimacy-related issues, and related areas.
She has run treatment centers for addiction and provided case management for people living with schizophrenia. That background means she has worked across different settings and with many life situations. Heather draws on practical skills when helping people manage difficult feelings or overwhelming situations.
Her approach is direct and person-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what each person wants to work on. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
Heather has supported people through substance use challenges, mood disorders such as bipolar, ADHD, and trauma recovery. She also helps people dealing with parenting stress, relationship strain, grief around adoption or abandonment, caregiver fatigue, chronic illness, and body image concerns. She aims to help people find clearer ways to manage everyday demands.
Outside clinical work she teaches dance and reads about trauma recovery and human resilience. That interest in movement and learning informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the concerns you bring and on listening closely to what matters to you. It helps shape sessions around your goals and the issues you want to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Heather will work collaboratively to see which methods fit your goals and preferences. That might mean using Client-Centered conversation one week and CBT or DBT skills practice the next. The choice will reflect what you want to accomplish together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for using video when you want face-to-face interaction and phone when a call is simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT homework, DBT skill practice, and guided mindfulness to an online setting to fit everyday life.
