About Heather

Heather Phelps is a licensed social worker practicing in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She has worked as a clinic-based therapist and as a clinic director, combining hands-on clinical care with program development and leadership. Her practice emphasizes mindfulness, movement, problem-solving, communication, social connection, coping, and relaxation skills, and she has created a Mindful Parenting Program to support caregivers and families.

Heather holds the LISW-CP credential, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a clinical practice designation, and she is certified in Foundations of Meditation and as a Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor. She draws on this training when teaching wellness programming for children and adults, helping clients build practical skills that fit into everyday life. Her experience includes supporting people facing stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, feelings of disconnection, trauma, and major life transitions.

Her theoretical approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance-based methods, mindfulness practices, dialectical strategies, and other research-informed modalities. Heather’s style is client-centered - she treats each person as the expert on their own life and partners with them to create individualized plans that reflect their goals and circumstances. She views the decision to begin therapy as an important step and brings respect and steady support to each client’s growth and recovery journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take actionable steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions rather than getting stuck in them. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts, sensations, and emotions, helping reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress, grief, and caregiving demands.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with clients to explore which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting plans as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication format that feels most comfortable for each person.
