About Heather

Heather White-McClane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of practice in Georgia. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addictions. Heather focuses on building practical skills that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Her approach emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere where clients can speak honestly about what they are facing. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools are used to address patterns of thinking and to build coping skills.

Heather also works on issues tied to relationships and identity, such as codependency, commitment concerns, communication problems, and gender dysphoria. She assists people dealing with grief, feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, and the practical fallout of separation or divorce. Addictions and impulsivity are addressed with motivational strategies and behavioral planning.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, achievable goals. Heather helps people break problems into small steps and practices new responses between meetings. She encourages self-compassion and problem-solving so clients can notice change in daily routines.

With decades of experience, Heather adapts methods to each person’s needs. She asks about what matters most, then supports clients as they try new ways of coping and relating. Her work is practical, steady, and aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and hope.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and sets the agenda around their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and teaches concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs and preferences. That might mean trying CBT exercises one week and a mindfulness practice the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when that suits someone better. It can also let people use practices learned in sessions directly in their daily routine. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools so work done online supports real-life change.
