About Heather

Heather White-McClane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Georgia who uses narrative and client-centered approaches to help people sort through hard moments. She draws on 30 years of practice to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, and addiction concerns. Heather keeps sessions straightforward.

She listens for the stories people tell about themselves and then helps them notice patterns that no longer serve them. That work often makes room for clearer choices and more helpful habits in daily life.

Background and approach

Her approach blends narrative ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. She may help a person challenge unhelpful thoughts, practice grounding or breathing techniques, and experiment with new behaviors between sessions. The emphasis is practical - small steps that change how someone feels and acts.

Heather also brings methods from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when a person needs skills for emotion regulation or for shifting motivation around substance use. Sessions focus on what a client wants to change and how to get there one step at a time.

People come to Heather for a wide range of concerns, including issues tied to abandonment, codependency, communication struggles, relationship endings, guilt and shame, and aging or chronic health worries. She works in English and offers video, phone, chat, and text options to fit different schedules.

Online session options

How Heather Brings Narrative and Skills Online

Heather uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they live by and consider alternatives. This method helps when feelings like shame, emptiness, or low self-esteem are tied to long-standing narratives about oneself. Client-Centered Therapy is also central; Heather listens closely and follows each person's goals to build a workable plan together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds short-term tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Heather will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. The plan can change over time based on what helps most, and sessions often mix approaches to meet practical needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging can be handy for shorter updates, coping strategy reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
