About Heather

Heather Chavis is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina. She focuses on stress and anxiety, parenting concerns, motivation and self-esteem, and career-related difficulties. Her approach aims to make it easier for people to talk about what’s hard.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques teach simple habits for staying present and reducing overwhelm. Heather also draws on client-centered principles, meaning the person’s priorities guide each session. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to find their own reasons to change.

Solution-Focused methods help set clear, short-term goals and build on what already works. Her nine years of experience include supporting people through life changes and compassion fatigue. She works with concerns such as ADHD, panic, social anxiety, workplace stress, money issues, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions aim to be practical, direct, and tailored to the person’s needs. Heather’s tone in sessions is warm and straightforward. She helps people take small steps that add up.

If someone wants help managing stress, improving parenting strategies, or clarifying career next steps, she offers steady support.

How Heather’s Approaches Work Online

Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. In short sessions clients learn to test negative thoughts and try different behaviors to see what helps. Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her work, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.

She takes a collaborative stance when choosing methods. The therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which approach to try first. That process can shift over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to schedule brief check-ins or longer conversations without travel. The format can be chosen based on what feels most useful for practicing new skills and keeping momentum between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
