About Heather
Heather Kleckinger-Craven is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She focuses on practical, goal-oriented work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and related issues.
Heather centers sessions on finding solutions and building usable skills. She and the person she meets set clear goals and review progress each session. That makes it easier to notice what changes are happening and to try different strategies when something is not working.
Her approach emphasizes concrete steps rather than long, unfocused talks. Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to test practical alternatives. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions directed toward small, achievable changes.
She works with a broad range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and process addictions such as problematic porn or gambling. Additional areas she addresses include divorce and separation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, personality disorder-related difficulties, and social anxiety or phobias.
Sessions emphasize skills you can try between meetings. Heather reviews goals regularly and adjusts strategies when needed. That steady, practical focus aims to make daily life feel more manageable over time.
How Heather Applies CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then to test new responses that feel more useful. CBT sessions often focus on short experiments and homework to change daily routines and thinking patterns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to highlight small, achievable steps and quick changes that move a person toward their stated goals. This approach narrows the work to what is practical and observable, which can speed up finding what helps most.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Heather works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She checks goals regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is working or not.
