Heather Pack , LPC

Heather Pack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience spanning school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse treatment. She has managed addiction treatment centers and provided case management for individuals with schizophrenia, bringing a broad clinical background to each client interaction. Over the years she has worked with hundreds of people, and she draws energy from witnessing the resilience and determination that people show in healing and recovery.

Outside of clinical work, Heather teaches dance and enjoys tap, exploring new musical styles, and reading nonfiction accounts of people who have overcome trauma to help others. She describes herself as a curious learner who wonders about science, space, and how life unfolds, and she brings that same inquisitive spirit to therapy.

Heather currently works as a school counselor in West Virginia and has returned to online counseling to reconnect with the clinical side of her profession and to reach people who face transportation barriers or who prefer remote care. She is experienced supporting people facing trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns, issues related to LGBTQA identity, and other life adjustments. Heather is not currently accepting clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Heather Pack

Heather Pack draws on client-centered therapy to place the individual's experience at the center of work together, offering a supportive environment where clients' goals and values guide each step. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those struggling with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heather collaborates with each person to find methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines practical tools with a compassionate, exploratory stance so clients can try strategies and adjust direction together.

Online therapy with Heather is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
