About Heather
Heather White-McClane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Heather works with adults who want concrete ways to manage strong emotions and change unhelpful habits.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people notice and change patterns that keep problems going. Sessions often include learning specific skills, trying new behaviors between meetings, and tracking what works. Heather draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns, and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to regulate emotions and tolerate distress.
Clients may bring concerns such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and difficulties after divorce or separation. She also supports people facing drug and alcohol addiction, issues around gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS related stress, aging and geriatric questions, and feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame.
Her style is practical and focused on steps people can try between sessions. Sessions include talking through current problems, practicing new responses, and reviewing how those attempts went. Motivational Interviewing is used when people need help finding reasons and plans to change.
Heather works in English and offers care in Georgia. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Heather’s CBT and DBT approaches translate online
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and acting that maintain stress or depression. CBT sessions focus on clear lessons, practice tasks between meetings, and reviewing what changed. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when feelings feel overwhelming.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy elements to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities, and Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen reasons to change. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a joint process. Heather will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked before to shape an approach that fits the person’s situation.
If you want online care, confirm available session formats before booking as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For some people, sessions that do not require video can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick phone check-in fits a break at work. Discuss format options during the initial matching and scheduling steps to find what works best for everyday life.
