About Heather
Heather Kleckinger-Craven is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 19 years in mental health. She focuses on practical skills and goal-driven work so people see real changes over time. Heather centers sessions on collaboration and clear steps clients can use in daily life.
She uses approaches that help people break big problems into manageable parts. Sessions often include identifying small, realistic goals and tracking progress from week to week. Heather emphasizes finding workable alternatives when something isn't helping, rather than repeating the same plan.
Many of the concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family matters, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with addictions, process addictions, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Additionally, Heather helps with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, co-morbidity, guilt and shame, personality concerns, and social anxiety or phobias. Her style is practical and solution-focused, aiming to give clients skills they can use between sessions.
The work is collaborative: Heather and the person she meets set goals and check progress regularly. That structure helps show what is improving and what needs a new approach. She welcomes questions about how sessions are run and what to expect moving forward.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves practical exercises and short skill-building tasks that can be reviewed between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable goals and building on what already works in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Heather collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks progress and adapts plans so therapy stays useful and focused on concrete change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that better matches a day. It can also let people use exercises and worksheets during the week and then review them with a licensed professional during the next appointment.
