About Heather
Heather Dillard is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 13 years of experience based in Texas. She works with adults and teens on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses trauma and abuse, depression, career questions, eating concerns, compassion fatigue, and supports people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability.
Heather favors practical, body-aware work. She helps people notice how stress shows up in their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Sessions focus on clear steps you can take between meetings to test new ways of responding to upsetting thoughts and habits.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening to clarify what matters most to the person in front of her. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are used to help people track body signals and calm intense reactions.
Heather often supports people recovering from trauma with trauma-focused methods layered into other approaches. She frames therapy as practical problem-solving and learning - noticing triggers, practicing new skills, and checking what works. That typically means small experiments and concrete coping tools rather than long lectures.
Sessions are set up to fit into busy lives and include work on everyday routines, work-life balance, and steps toward clearer goals or career decisions. Heather works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Heather blends CBT, mindfulness, and body-focused work online
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT here means identifying a troubling thought, trying a different response, and checking what changes in mood or behavior. This approach is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and depression.She also draws on client-centered listening, which focuses on clear reflection of what the person says so goals become easier to name. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop steady attention to thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
Deciding which mix of methods to use is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to match approaches to their goals and preferences, tries practical exercises, then adjusts based on what helps. That means the plan can change over the first few sessions.
