About Heather
Heather Frazier is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and listens without judgment.
Background and approach
Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping someone feel steadier and more in control of daily life. Heather draws on a mix of approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs.
She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that keep problems going.
She also incorporates dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation and client-centered techniques to keep the relationship warm and respectful. Gottman Method is part of the suite of methods she lists and may be used when relevant to the issues someone brings up.
Heather has seven years of clinical experience across hospital, telephone, outpatient clinic, and virtual settings. Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a master’s degree in clinical counseling from Liberty University.
Heather is licensed in North Carolina as an LCMHC and brings experience working with addiction-related concerns and caregiver stress among other focus areas. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and Heather aims to adapt the pace and tools to each person’s situation.
She emphasizes small, achievable steps so people can notice change without feeling overwhelmed.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that match those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by shifting attention to meaningful behavior rather than getting stuck on distressing thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients learn to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete strategies to change behaviors that feed worry, low mood, or addiction-related urges.
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their situation, adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Online formats let people access therapy with practical flexibility. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, and a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while trying different methods to see what helps.
