About Heather
Heather Pack is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. She practices in West Virginia and draws on a blend of straightforward, practical approaches to help people manage strong emotions and life stressors. Heather focuses on concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.
She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and the challenges of major life changes. Her style is down-to-earth and goal-oriented, aimed at clear steps people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse work. She has experience running treatment centers and providing case management for clients with complex needs. That range taught her to match interventions to a person’s specific situation rather than use one fixed method.
Therapy sessions typically involve talking through patterns, trying new ways of reacting, and practicing skills for calmer responses. Techniques may include cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness exercises to lower reactivity, and skills-building for emotional regulation. Outside of counseling, Heather teaches dance and follows science and nonfiction reading.
That curiosity informs her clinical work and keeps her focused on practical ways people rebuild after hard experiences. She uses online formats to reach people who can’t easily travel or who prefer remote sessions.

Evidence-informed approaches adapted for online care
Heather commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people set their own goals, which is useful for rebuilding trust and clarity after trauma or during relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Techniques can be combined and adjusted as progress is made so people learn practical tools that fit their daily routines.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a workday break. Live chat or text messaging offers short check-ins and written tools people can refer back to. These options help people attend sessions more consistently and try skills between meetings.
