About Heather
Heather Kerble is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with seven years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and questions around identity and body image. Heather emphasizes the strengths people already have and supports them as they take steps toward change.
In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their life. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps that fit their daily life. Heather uses a blend of approaches, drawing from Client-Centered Therapy and cognitive-behavioral ideas when useful.
Her work also incorporates trauma-focused and solution-focused methods when past events or specific goals shape the work. Mindfulness practices are used to help people manage stress and notice unhelpful patterns in the moment. These tools are offered in straightforward ways, without jargon.
Heather has licensure across multiple states and practices in South Carolina. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit with the practical demands of parenting, work, and everyday routines. Her style is collaborative, warm, and goal-oriented, aiming to help people feel more grounded and capable.
For people navigating gender and sexuality concerns, eating or body image struggles, ADHD, and communication problems, sessions focus on clear strategies and self-compassion. Heather encourages small, manageable changes that build confidence over time.
Approaches that guide online work and progress
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what the person cares about most. The therapist reflects back what they hear and follows the client’s lead so goals come from the client rather than being imposed by the therapist. This approach helps when someone needs a space to make sense of identity, relationships, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses simple strategies like testing unhelpful beliefs and practicing new actions to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. These tools are often used alongside mindfulness techniques to help people stay present and notice patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying practical steps, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.
