About Heather Pack
Heather Pack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience across school counseling, mental health counseling, and substance abuse treatment. She has led treatment centers for addiction and provided case management support for people living with schizophrenia, drawing on a varied clinical background to support clients through complex challenges.
Across her career she has worked with hundreds of people, witnessing resilience and recovery in many forms. That exposure informs her clinical focus on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting and intimacy issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also brings attention to areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, neurodiversity, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, codependency, and other co-occurring conditions.
Outside of counseling she pursues creative interests as a dance instructor who enjoys tap and exploring new musical forms. Known among friends as a curious thinker, she reads nonfiction about trauma and recovery and follows scientific questions about the wider universe. Heather currently works as a school counselor in West Virginia and offers counseling via online methods for people who may lack transportation or prefer remote care.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Remote Care
Heather Pack incorporates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping individuals feel heard and supported as they explore their goals and values. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and tailors interventions so the methods fit the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options can reduce travel time, accommodate busy schedules, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life demands change, while still allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused therapeutic support.
