About Heather
Dr. Heather Clark is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and she also addresses concerns such as guilt and shame.
Dr. Clark focuses on helping people calm their minds, bodies, and feelings. She uses cognitive-behavioral interventions, imagery tools, and mindfulness techniques so clients can respond differently to difficult moments. Sessions are practical and skills‑based, with short exercises and concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Her work often centers on making small changes that reduce overwhelm. That can include noticing thought patterns, practicing focused breathing or imagery, and testing new ways of reacting to stressful situations. These steps are explained plainly and practiced in session.
She has graduate credentials in counseling and a doctorate in psychology. Over nearly two decades she has guided people through life transitions, relationship strains, and emotional readjustments. That experience informs how she blends cognitive and mindfulness methods.
Clients who are coping with family of origin issues, body image concerns, or isolation may find the practical techniques helpful. She also addresses issues related to autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family concerns, eating and food-related issues, and forgiveness.
When someone wants to start, the usual process is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a first session. The approach is collaborative and focused on clear, manageable steps.
How Dr. Clark uses CBT, mindfulness, and solution focus online
CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. It uses short exercises and experiments to change how thoughts influence moods and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, guilt, and low mood.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques help reduce reactivity to painful memories or harsh self‑judgment and can make difficult feelings easier to sit with for a moment.
Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. It asks what a slightly better day would look like and builds practical steps toward that, which can be helpful when someone wants to move past stuck patterns.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Dr. Clark will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals. The plan can shift over time based on what feels helpful and what produces usable skills.
