About Heather
Heather Salazar uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and challenges around addictions. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC practicing in California with eight years of experience. Heather aims for clear, doable steps rather than jargon.

Background and approach
Heather helps clients unpack control issues, guilt and shame, and struggles with forgiveness. She also works on anxiety symptoms like panic attacks, social anxiety, and broader mood concerns. Heather pays attention to relationship dynamics and practical family stressors.
Conversations include communication patterns, attachment-related worries, and ways to rebuild trust and connection. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation and goals. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
Sessions look at what is working, what gets in the way, and small changes that make daily life easier. Heather emphasizes motivation, goal-setting, and skills you can use at home.

She explains options and helps prioritize steps so parents can focus on what matters most to their family and personal wellbeing.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Heather uses grounded, evidence-based techniques that aim for clear improvements in daily life. One commonly used approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic symptoms through step-by-step exposure and breathing or grounding strategies; this helps reduce intense reactions and build confidence in triggering situations. Another approach targets mood and motivation by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning; this is useful for depression and low self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time so techniques fit the realities of family life and personal schedules.
Online therapy with Heather offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, follow up between meetings, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. The variety of formats supports ongoing progress while accommodating different communication styles and family responsibilities.
