About
Heather Lockey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 8 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. Her work often centers on stress and anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and navigating difficult life situations, including grief and loss. She brings a grounded, compassionate style that aims to help clients identify practical ways forward while also making room for the emotional impact of what they have been through.
Heather approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and already carries important strengths that can be built upon. She draws from an eclectic mix of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches. This flexibility allows her to tailor sessions to the client rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.
Heather welcomes teens and members of the LGBTQA+ community, and she aims to offer steady support as clients take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Informed Therapy Tools, Delivered Online
Heather Lockey draws from several practical, skills-based approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while building daily actions around what matters most, offering a supportive framework for coping with life changes, grief, or long-standing stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, which many people find helpful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are dealing with, what they want to change, and what kind of support feels most helpful, then adjusts the tools and pace to match their goals and preferences.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or continue care when getting to an office is not practical.
