About Heather

Heather Salyers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, anger, and life changes.

Heather describes a direct, practical approach. She begins by listening to what feels most urgent. Early sessions often focus on an assessment to understand what brought the person to therapy and to set clear next steps.

She uses straightforward techniques to address thinking patterns, motivation, and reactions to stress. Sessions may include talking through recent events, practicing new ways of coping, and setting achievable goals. Heather encourages messaging between sessions and aims to respond during the week until about 8 pm.

Appointment structure is flexible. Heather offers 30- or 45-minute sessions based on client preference. She notes currently offering morning and mid-day appointment times and works six days a week with occasional Sunday hours.

Heather provides sessions in English and accepts video, chat, and phone formats. Messaging is available for ongoing support and check-ins. Prospective clients should expect the first session to be an assessment that helps decide the best path forward.

BHow sessions work

How Heather uses online therapy and clinical approaches

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says so they feel heard and can clarify what matters most. This approach supports people who need to sort out feelings, values, and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and stress. It uses practical exercises and short-term goals to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, or anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaboration. Heather will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean starting with a listening-focused session and then adding CBT tools or motivational interviewing to address motivation or substance-related concerns.

Confirm the exact session options before booking. The biography states she offers video, chat, and phone sessions, and she encourages messaging during the week for check-ins. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy mornings or mid-day breaks, allow a shorter focused check-in when time is limited, or let someone avoid travel on a workday. Discuss scheduling and session length with Heather when you book your first assessment.
