Heather McGovern

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi, I’m Heather, pronouns she/they! I’m an LCSW and I have 10+ years of experience providing therapy to people who are feeling stuck, unheard, and/or trapped within our system of social norms and unrealistic expectations. I love helping clients get to those “ah ha” moments that unlock the gates to progress and healing.
I practice a multitude of evidence based modalities and tailor them to my clients’ specific needs. Nothing cookie-cutter, over here. I tend to be solution focused, client centered, and strengths based within my practice.
Most of my experience comes from working with those who have experienced significant complex trauma. I believe everyone deserves a therapist that will listen to them entirely and completely free of judgment. I identify as queer (non-binary, poly, pan) and have worked with clients in all stages of recognizing their queerness. I also have experience working with those who have experienced religious trauma whether due to their sexuality or otherwise.
If you’re looking for a therapist who’s laid back, nerdy, uses humor but will also challenge you to make the changes you’ve come to make; then I’m the therapist for you!

About

Heather McGovern (pronouns she/they) is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people who feel stuck, unheard, or constrained by social norms and unrealistic expectations. She focuses on guiding clients toward those practical “ah ha” moments that open pathways to progress and healing.

Heather employs a range of evidence-based approaches and customizes techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan. Her style is solution-focused, client-centered, and rooted in a strengths-based outlook.

Much of her clinical work involves supporting people who have experienced complex trauma. She prioritizes listening without judgment and creates a space where clients can explore difficult material at their own pace. Heather identifies as queer – non-binary, poly, and pan – and has worked with people at all stages of recognizing their queerness. She also has experience assisting individuals who have faced religious trauma, whether related to sexuality or other concerns.

Heather describes her approach as laid back and nerdy, using humor while also challenging clients to make the changes they want. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, a credential that authorizes her to provide clinical therapy (license SW19610).

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for addressing those needs.

A key benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the format that supports progress.

Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. This approach allows people to access qualified help while maintaining the flexibility to find the therapeutic relationship that works best for them.
