About Heather
Heather Murphy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Hampshire with 13 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and body image matters, ADHD, parenting and career-related stress. She also addresses compassion fatigue, caregiver strain, and life transitions.
She uses straightforward, person-focused conversation and practical tools in sessions. Heather combines elements of client-centered therapy, cognitive behavior work, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions tend to include problem-solving, skill practice, and gentle reflection rather than lots of theory.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work and over a decade working in mental health settings. That experience includes supporting people through divorce and separation, blended family issues, fertility and cancer-related stress, and first responder concerns. Heather draws on that breadth of work when helping people with complex, overlapping problems.
In the room she aims to be direct and human. She uses humor and creativity when helpful, and stays focused on practical next steps. People who want concrete strategies for daily life and clearer communication often find this approach useful.
Heather helps clients build skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationship communication, and handling the demands of work and caregiving. Her sessions are collaborative - she and the client decide what to try and how to measure progress.
BHow sessions work
How Heather uses therapy approaches online
Heather often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Client-Centered Therapy. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so people feel understood while they try new coping skills.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test alternative responses. CBT tends to be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems like sleep or avoidance by giving concrete steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process means plans can shift if something isn’t helping.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, camera-off phone conversations, or scheduling at times that suit a busy week depending on the offered options.
