About Heather
Heather Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with seven years of clinical experience. She has a longer history in mental health work, including settings such as inpatient youth and adult treatment, child protective services, foster care, domestic violence shelter work, and in-home supports for people with disabilities.
She helps people who are dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and abuse, eating and sleep concerns, and grief. She also works with issues around self-esteem, anger, parenting stress, relationship and family concerns, and LGBT-related challenges. Communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and self-love are additional focus areas.
Her approach centers on building a trustworthy working relationship. Sessions are client-centered and practical, using methods that include cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. She describes therapy as collaborative and rooted in understanding each person’s experience.
Heather draws on her varied background in inpatient and community settings when helping people navigate life changes and complex concerns. She uses talk-based work alongside techniques aimed at processing traumatic material more deeply. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people try concrete steps to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
People who want straightforward, experience-based support around addiction, mood, or trauma find her background relevant. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
BHow sessions work
How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Heather commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her practice. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person’s priorities and what matters most to them. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people test and change unhelpful habits. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break or avoiding travel time. It also allows continued contact when someone relocates within the United States. Discuss practical scheduling and session length when you set up the first appointment so sessions match daily routines and responsibilities.
