About Heather
Heather Ross is an LCSW licensed in Utah with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, body image concerns, and LGBTQIA-related issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, disordered eating, parenting stress, and problems with sleep and relationships.
Before her current private practice work she spent time in inpatient treatment settings for youth and adults, child protective services, foster care, a domestic violence shelter, and in-home services for people with disabilities. That range of roles gave her repeated exposure to crises and long-term recovery work.
Her practice uses straightforward, skills-based methods that emphasize noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors. She lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing among her approaches. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Heather describes her work as identity-centered and attentive to how life experience shapes feelings and choices. She aims to be a steady presence in sessions, listens closely, and helps people name patterns that get in the way. Goals are set together and progress is tracked with concrete strategies.
People who want structured, practical help for mood, attention, or coping problems may find her approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details so they fit into everyday life.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online sessions
Heather commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors step by step; this is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and sleep or eating concerns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance techniques that can reduce overwhelm. Client-centered methods provide time for a person to describe their priorities and feel heard while practical strategies are introduced.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather treats choice of method as collaborative. She and the client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in everyday life.
The original biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make regular check-ins easier to fit around work, school, or caregiving. They also allow for shorter progress reviews between longer sessions, or for using phone instead of video when lower bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Talk with her about scheduling and the session length that works best.
