About Heather
Heather Coulson is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood problems, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Heather also supports people facing big life questions about purpose and identity.
She uses a blend of approaches to meet each person's needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions often include practical explanations about how the brain works alongside talk-based work.
Background and approach
That means clients learn simple, science-based ideas they can try between sessions. Heather pays attention to trauma, abuse, and post-traumatic stress while also addressing issues like self-harm, bipolar disorder, and seasonal affective disorder. She helps with everyday struggles too, such as communication problems, money stress, isolation, and career transitions.
Her focus includes guilt, shame, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-esteem. In the counseling room she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She combines client-centered care with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work, emotion-focused practices, EMDR, and existential reflection.
The goal is to find what helps you cope and move forward. Taking a first step can feel hard. Heather offers steady support while helping people explore practical strategies and deeper questions about meaning and values.
She speaks English and provides services from Ohio to international clients who work with her online.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy helps people sit with life questions about meaning, purpose, and identity. In sessions the focus is on values, choices, and living with uncertainty, which can help when someone feels stuck or disconnected.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating a nonjudgmental space. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them find their own solutions, which works well for building trust remotely.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions commonly include short exercises and homework to try between appointments, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood problems.
Heather will collaborate with each person to find the best mix of approaches for their situation. Together they review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people work therapy into busy lives.
