About Heather
Heather Burrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. Heather also addresses relationship concerns and ADHD-related struggles.
Heather keeps sessions practical and focused on what feels most useful. She listens to a person’s current struggle and then works through concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to spot patterns that increase distress and test small behavior changes.
Her work also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Solution-focused techniques are used when a person wants short-term, goal-oriented work. These methods are used together to match what a person needs in the moment.
Heather has supported people dealing with issues related to adoption and foster care, family of origin problems, seasonal affective disorder, sexual assault and abuse, women’s concerns, and young adult issues. She structures sessions so conversations lead to practical next steps and homework when that helps.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with her Texas licensure as the listed credential. People who want to begin are asked to complete the site questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to see if her style fits their needs.
How Heather uses CBT and client-centered work online
Heather commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions often involve identifying specific situations, testing new responses, and checking what changed over time. Client-Centered Therapy is used to center the client's perspective and prioritize what matters most to them, allowing the conversation to guide pacing and goals.Motivational Interviewing is another tool she may use to help people clarify what they want and increase willingness to try new strategies. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and what they want to change.

A clear plan for goals and homework can make online work feel focused and practical, helping apply what is discussed to everyday life.
