About Heather
Heather Windham is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) licensed in South Carolina and has 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, anxiety, stress, grief, and changes in life circumstances.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered techniques to focus on relationships and the person’s own goals.
Sessions typically focus on specific problems such as sleep issues, intimacy-related concerns, or coping with caregiving stress. Heather works on concrete strategies for managing anger, improving communication, and addressing family-of-origin or blended family problems. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care concerns, fertility stress, and aging-related issues.
She uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices to support behavior change and reduce reactivity. Those tools are used alongside talk therapy to build small, practical steps clients can try between sessions. Heather frames work as collaborative and goal-oriented.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults across a range of life stresses. The LISW-CP credential is spelled out to indicate clinical social work licensure in South Carolina. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session as a first step.
How her approaches translate to online work
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; CBT is practical and often focuses on homework and small experiments. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and patterns, which can help with intimacy and family concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style too, offering a steady, goal-focused conversation where the client's priorities guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and what feels most useful in sessions. That means starting with what matters now and adjusting methods as progress is seen.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. When arranging sessions, consider what works best for you - shorter check-ins, fewer video requirements, or standard-length meetings - to make regular work possible alongside daily responsibilities.
