About Heather
Heather Alexander is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of private practice experience and a long background in school counseling. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, and life transitions. She also addresses grief, anger, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, and family of origin issues.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people name what feels stuck. Sessions typically focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can be tried between meetings. Heather draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to offer concrete tools for managing emotions and improving communication.
Clients can expect short-term goals alongside work on deeper patterns. Heather pays attention to how early family roles and expectations still show up in adult life. She helps people notice those patterns and test new ways of relating and setting boundaries.
Her background includes about 30 years as a school counselor before moving into private practice. That experience informs an emphasis on practical strategies for daily life, parenting, workplace challenges, and handling midlife transitions.
Heather speaks English and practices in Texas as an LPC. People interested in addressing family of origin issues or improving communication and coping skills are invited to review her online therapy options and complete the site questionnaire to schedule a first session.

Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as brief goal-setting and small experiments. This approach concentrates on what is already working and on steps that can be tried between meetings.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Heather approaches that choice collaboratively, discussing a client’s goals and preferences and adapting methods over time as needed.
