Heather Kleckinger-Craven

Heather Kleckinger-Craven is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She aims for practical, steady progress in sessions. Heather focuses on finding workable steps clients can use between meetings to feel better and cope with stress.

Heather uses a solution-focused style that centers on small, achievable goals. She tracks those goals in appointment to notice what changes and what needs to shift. That approach is meant to help people see real movement in day-to-day life rather than vague promises.

She also applies techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful routines. These methods are used for a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and coping with life changes. Heather pays attention to how mood and behavior affect work, relationships, and everyday functioning.

Her practice addresses a broad set of issues such as addictions, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include co-morbidity, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, personality disorders, process addictions like gambling or exercise, social anxiety and phobia, and divorce and separation.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Heather reviews goals regularly and adjusts plans when needed. She welcomes questions and will work with each person to build skills that fit their life.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Remotely

Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and habits that keep problems going, then practice different ways of thinking and acting to change daily routines. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical goals and on what is already working; sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Heather collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they test what helps and change course if something is not working.

The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fewer disruptions to daily life, which can make it simpler to maintain regular sessions. Online options may also let people fit brief check-ins into a busy day or choose interactions that do not require video. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for appointments.
