About Heather

Heather Callam is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with ten years of experience helping people unburden themselves and move forward. She centers her work on building an authentic therapeutic relationship where clients can explore difficult feelings and long-held secrets that may impede progress.

Background and approach

Heather emphasizes creating a clear, compassionate environment in which people can rediscover a sense of agency and direction. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, grief, stress, ADHD, and career or parenting challenges.

She draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients develop practical skills and new perspectives while honoring each person’s unique story. Heather approaches therapy as a collaborative process and aims to empower clients as they navigate change, heal from past wounds, and pursue the goals that matter most to them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take actionable steps toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by promoting committed action aligned with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the therapist’s genuine presence to support growth and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is often collaborative rather than predetermined. Heather works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs and goals, combining elements from different approaches when helpful and adjusting direction as the work evolves.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care without geographic constraints. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow clients to engage from environments that feel comfortable, and support ongoing progress through formats that match different communication styles and life demands.
