Heather Pack is a mental health counselor practicing in West Virginia and North Carolina with 15 years of experience across school counseling, clinical mental health counseling, and substance abuse treatment. Her background spans roles in school settings, outpatient services, and administration of addiction treatment programs.
Throughout her career she has supported hundreds of people in a wide range of situations, from running treatment centers for addiction to providing case management for individuals living with schizophrenia. The resilience she witnesses in those she works with informs a strengths-based, hopeful approach to care.
Heather is a licensed professional counselor in West Virginia, and she combines her clinical experience with an appreciation for practical, real-world challenges that affect daily life. Her years of practice include work with students and community members across developmental and clinical settings.
Outside of counseling, Heather teaches dance and enjoys tap as well as exploring new musical styles. Friends call her a searcher because she frequently wonders about science, space, and the larger patterns of life. She reads mostly nonfiction, often focusing on stories of people who have experienced trauma and later helped others.
She currently works as a school counselor in West Virginia but sought to reengage with the clinical side of her profession. To do that, Heather offers online counseling to increase access for people who face transportation barriers or who prefer remote sessions. She is comfortable working with individuals who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, relationship challenges, LGBTQA concerns, adjustment issues, and parenting or family conflicts. Heather welcomes all clients and is eager to begin working with new people through online care.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the connection method that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it simpler to integrate therapy into a busy schedule or when transportation is limited.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to engage in regular treatment while retaining many of the therapeutic benefits of face-to-face care.
