About Heather

Heather McKethan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with a decade of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a respectful, compassionate stance to sessions and focuses on helping clients draw on their existing strengths to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem, trauma, grief, and ADHD. Her work also spans areas like eating and sleeping problems, career transitions, parenting, and process addictions.

She uses an adaptable, skill-based approach that combines cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment principles, mindfulness practices, and client-centered techniques. Heather centers the person in therapy, asking curious questions to understand each individual’s goals and tailoring tools to meet those aims.

Her description emphasizes collaboration and helping clients develop practical ways to manage life changes, cope with compassion fatigue, and pursue greater clarity and purpose. Heather welcomes clients who are ready to engage in a thoughtful, goal-oriented process.

She affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers ongoing support as people work toward meaningful, achievable change.

Approaches that inform online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, while teaching skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building, which often helps with depression, anxiety, addictions, and sleep or eating issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and working at the client’s pace to foster insight and self-directed change.

Figuring out which approach or combination of approaches will work best is part of the therapeutic process. Heather collaborates with each person to understand goals, preferences, and needs, then adapts techniques so treatment feels relevant and manageable for daily life. The selection of methods is flexible and revisited as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing work by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue consistent care during life changes, and maintain ongoing contact between appointments when appropriate. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver the same core therapeutic strategies as in-person care while meeting clients where they are.
