About Heather

Heather Baker is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. She is direct and warm in sessions and aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful for busy parents and adults. She listens first and helps people find the story behind their symptoms.

Heather uses Narrative Therapy to look at how life stories shape feelings and choices, and she pairs that with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, doable steps and clearer ways to handle hard moments. Heather also brings experience with intimate issues like grief, parenting challenges, intimacy-related concerns, and ADHD. She works with people facing chronic pain, illness, and disability and addresses patterns such as codependency, control issues, isolation, and communication problems.

Her approach is adaptable to the problem at hand. Her style is collaborative - she treats each person as an expert on their life. She offers concrete skills and opportunities to rewrite unhelpful stories.

Heather emphasizes compassion and honesty while tailoring sessions to individual needs. Based in Tennessee, she draws on six years of counseling experience. Sessions are offered in English and use methods chosen to match each person’s goals, pace, and comfort level.

Heather aims to help clients move toward clearer choices and steadier days.

Online session options

How Heather’s approaches translate to online care

Heather commonly blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and gives room to rewrite those stories when they cause pain. Client-Centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and treating the person as the expert on their life. CBT offers hands-on strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust over time. The aim is to find methods that feel useful and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Online therapy with Heather uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets you work more closely on emotions and interactional patterns. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is difficult. Chat or text formats work well for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching format to what feels most practical.
