About Heather

Heather Chavis is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD challenges, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

With nine years of practice, she draws on practical techniques to help clients build motivation, improve confidence, and navigate life changes. Her work also addresses depression, relationship strain, and workplace issues alongside areas such as social anxiety, panic symptoms, and money or life-purpose questions.

Heather emphasizes a nonjudgmental, client-centered atmosphere where individuals can explore thoughts and feelings openly. She combines evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness with solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques to create tailored plans that match each person's situation and goals.

Her approach is collaborative, aiming to support clients as they identify small, achievable steps toward greater functioning and well-being. Sessions are offered through a mix of video, phone, chat, and messaging formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Heather encourages those ready to make a change to take the initial step and connect, meeting clients where they are and helping them work toward clearer direction and improved coping.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy



Client-centered therapy is grounded in listening and responding to each person’s unique experience, creating a respectful space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used to address anxiety, mood concerns, and work-related stress in a structured way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, combining elements of different approaches when helpful and adjusting the plan as goals evolve. This collaborative exploration helps ensure treatment aligns with each person's preferences and life circumstances.

Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other responsibilities. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or another convenient location while working with licensed professionals.
