About Heather

Heather Dillard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She works with adults and teens who feel stuck after a loss, a big life change, or long-term low motivation. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving daily functioning.

Heather uses a whole-body view of healing. She pays attention to how stress shows up in the body as well as in thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on noticing physical reactions, shifting unhelpful thinking, and building small habits that make a difference each day.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thought patterns that keep stress and anxiety going. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are used to help people reconnect with their bodies and manage intense feelings.

Heather brings 13 years of experience to her practice. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets the pace and priorities. She aims to help people regain motivation, improve relationships, and find clearer direction in life.

Therapy with Heather is offered online, which she says can make attending sessions more manageable for busy schedules. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the site’s process to begin work together.

How these approaches work online

Heather uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters to each person. That approach centers your goals and personal experience, letting the therapist adapt the pace and techniques to your needs.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and can lead to practical tools you can use between sessions.

Mindfulness and somatic methods help people notice how stress shows up in the body and learn simple practices to reduce physical tension. Those practices can be taught in-session and then practiced during daily routines to create steady changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you prefer online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Heather’s biography notes that she offers therapy online, and the site’s booking process will list formats and scheduling. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives because they remove drive time and can be scheduled around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
