About Heather
Heather Pantalone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with ten years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship concerns among other challenges. Sessions are practical and goal oriented, aimed at helping people notice patterns and try different responses.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside mindfulness and emotional regulation work. That means looking at thoughts, habits and behaviors and testing small changes in daily life. Heather also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, client-centered conversation, and some dialectical behavior strategies when useful.
Her work leans toward positive psychology and practical skill-building. She helps people set concrete goals and build step-by-step strategies to reach them. Sessions include checking what’s working, adjusting plans, and practicing new skills between meetings.
Heather describes herself as a partner in the process who helps you identify where to begin and what to try next. She supports people through short- or longer-term work, depending on the goals. The focus is on measurable change and clearer ways of handling everyday stresses.
She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed action that fits what matters most. Attachment-Based work looks at relationship patterns and helps people recognize how early bonds affect current interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather will discuss options and use a collaborative process to pick methods that match a person’s goals, needs and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress and feedback show what is most helpful.
