About Heather
Heather Mask is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical practice. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Heather also addresses family of origin issues and related family dynamics.
She uses a strengths-based outlook that looks at how a person fits within their everyday environment. Heather draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and an eclectic set of evidence-based techniques to help people recognize patterns and try new responses. Sessions tend to be interactive, with a focus on building practical skills for mood and anxiety concerns.
Heather has experience supporting parents and individuals across the lifespan, and she brings that background into discussions about relationships and parenting choices. She helps people talk through communication problems, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also works with issues like chronic illness, guilt and shame, and isolation.
In sessions she encourages clearer self-awareness and motivation to make changes that fit daily life. That may include small behavior changes, emotion regulation strategies, or problem-solving for family conflict. Heather also addresses post-traumatic stress symptoms and mood disorders when they affect functioning.
She offers services from Wisconsin and works in English. For people considering therapy she asks that they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How Heather’s approaches are used in online sessions
Heather draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. These techniques are often used for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stressors to build coping skills and change patterns that cause distress.She also employs strengths-based methods that look at a person within their environment and highlight existing resources. This helps when addressing family dynamics, parenting decisions, or managing caregiver stress by naming what already works and expanding on it.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
