About Heather
Dr. Clark uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thought and change unhelpful behaviors. She pairs that with mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set concrete goals and track small, usable progress.
She brings 19 years of clinical experience to sessions and holds a Ph.D. in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Her license is listed as LPC in Missouri.
In a typical session she guides people through simple exercises, practical problem-solving, and short imagery practices to manage intense feelings. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Dr. Clark often supports adults in emerging and early adulthood, roughly ages 18 to 35, helping them develop self-awareness and steady coping skills. People who want clear, skills-based work with attention to mindfulness may find her style a good match.

Step 3
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Clark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and task oriented, which translates well to online sessions where homework and daily tracking are often used.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can be practiced during and between online meetings to help manage anxiety and stress.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands rather than prescribing a single path up front.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills in their normal routines. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to what works best for each person.
