Heather Osman , LPC

Heather Osman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or facing parenting and relationship tensions. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, substance concerns, ADHD, and problems with eating or sleeping.

Heather uses a straightforward, person-centered style. Sessions are grounded in listening first, then working together to find practical steps that fit each person's life. She mixes talking, skill-building, and mindfulness practices depending on what feels most useful.

Her background includes long-term work with adults and adolescents on a wide range of issues. That includes coping with life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness, blended family challenges, and attachment concerns. Heather draws on several approaches so she can adapt to whatever a client brings to the room.

People can expect a warm, direct therapist who brings empathy and a sense of humor when it helps. Heather aims to help clients gain clearer thinking, better coping skills, and more reliable daily routines. She focuses on small, realistic changes that add up over time.

Heather accepts sessions in English and works with people across Texas and beyond. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on your own goals. The therapist follows your lead, offers empathy, and helps you clarify what matters most so change feels manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck and teaches concrete skills to shift those patterns for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills, which can help with anger, intensity, and coping with strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. The plan can change as you learn what helps most, and sessions will mix listening, skill practice, and real-world tasks.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you connect face to face from wherever you are, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides short check-ins during busy days, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or health routines while keeping the focus on usable tools and steady progress.
