Heather Dillard, LPC

Heather Dillard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She works with adults and teens who feel stuck or unmotivated and want clearer direction in relationships, work, or everyday life. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at small steps that add up to real change.

Heather uses a whole-body view in sessions, noticing how stress shows up in both the mind and the body. That means clients learn to recognize physical tension alongside anxious thoughts and feelings. She blends talk-based strategies with body-focused work to help people feel more grounded.

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is part of her approach and is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness practices to teach breathing and attention skills that reduce reactivity. For people whose difficulties trace back to traumatic experiences, trauma-focused and somatic methods are available to gently address stored tension and reactions.

Heather has practiced for 13 years and brings that experience to personalized care. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so scheduling can fit into busy lives. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and are billed through a cancellable subscription.

To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Heather aims to help people take the first brave step toward feeling more capable and connected.

How Heather’s Approaches Work Online

Heather often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around life changes.

She also brings a client-centered stance that focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. This approach helps clients set goals that matter to them and shapes the pace and tone of sessions.

Mindfulness techniques are used to teach attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices pair well with CBT and body-focused work when someone needs tools to manage strong emotions.

Heather treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, somatic methods, or a mix best fits their needs and goals. That plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone calls, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions let people practice skills together, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to attend regularly and adapt therapy to a busy life.
