About Heather
Heather Kerble is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She also helps with trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, relationship strain, and self-esteem difficulties.
Heather approaches care by listening first. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She aims to make the process feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused interventions. Heather uses these tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts, develop coping skills, and manage overwhelming emotions.
She also supports parents who want clearer routines, calmer responses, or better communication around family roles. Heather holds an MA and practices as an LICSW in South Carolina, with prior licensure in Rhode Island noted in her background. She frames therapy as an opportunity to try small, achievable changes and to practice new ways of responding.
For people managing body image, gender dysphoria concerns, or non-monogamous relationship dynamics, she offers tailored attention to those issues. Sessions may include talking through current problems, learning simple exercises for stress, or setting short-term goals. Heather emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and works with each person’s pace and priorities.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations so they can discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness-based techniques train attention to the present moment and teach simple breathing and awareness exercises to ease stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting over time as things change.
Online sessions offer flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
