Heather Cooper , LPCC

Heather Cooper is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with seven years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ concerns. Heather approaches clients with respect and directness, believing people know their own story and can build on their strengths.

Heather uses clear communication and practical tools in sessions. She helps people who are managing grief, relationship struggles, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. Career changes, coping with life transitions, and compassion fatigue are also areas she addresses.

Her work includes supporting people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and complex health or caregiving stress. She also offers help around attachment issues, body image, and sexual expression topics such as BDSM and kink. Heather recognizes how multiple issues can overlap and affect daily functioning.

Sessions are collaborative and grounded in the client’s goals. Heather draws from client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s needs. She also integrates cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior techniques to build emotion regulation skills.

People looking for practical, steady support may find her style a good fit. Heather aims to make the work approachable and useful, helping clients take manageable steps toward clearer thinking and healthier coping.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person as an individual, helping them build on their own strengths to face challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anxiety, anger, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with clients to choose or blend methods based on their goals, preferences, and daily demands. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful from the start.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or session follow-up without scheduling a full session. These options increase flexibility and make consistent care more manageable for many people.
