About Heather

Heather Marrs uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and depression. She keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her and helps them draw on their own strengths. Her tone is supportive and straightforward so parents can feel listened to without feeling judged.

Heather is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Georgia. She has 28 years of professional work experience.

Background and approach

That background gives her many chances to recognize common patterns and offer practical ways to respond to them. In sessions she listens first and asks simple questions to clarify what matters most to each person. She helps people name problems, set small goals, and practice ways to handle hard moments.

Communication issues, forgiveness, feeling isolated, and finding life purpose are regular topics she addresses. Heather encourages people to notice their own resources and then build on them step by step. She often uses short, doable tasks between meetings so progress is visible.

When life feels uncertain, she helps people find steady ways to cope with change. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Heather aims to make the next steps clear and manageable. She welcomes straightforward conversations about what a person hopes to get from counseling and works with them to set practical goals.

Client-centered care delivered online

Client-Centered Therapy is Heather's primary approach. It focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers. This approach is helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and depression because it centers on what the person values and wants to change.

In practice that means Heather asks questions, reflects what she hears, and supports each person in naming goals. She helps people try small steps between sessions so progress becomes clear. The therapist and client decide together which ideas feel useful and which to adjust as work continues.

Online sessions can be offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These options make it easier to meet without travel and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Heather will work with each person to find the mix of formats and pacing that fits their needs and goals.

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.
