About Heather

Heather Salyers, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), is a Kentucky-licensed therapist with six years of professional experience. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and confidence concerns, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and coping with life changes. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance use, family of origin issues, family problems, and fertility-related concerns.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings and begin the work of pursuing a more fulfilling life. The first session is often an assessment to identify what brought the client to therapy and to determine appropriate next steps. To meet varying needs, she offers 30- or 45-minute sessions and provides video, chat, or phone appointments. Messaging is encouraged during the week, and she replies as quickly as possible within work hours that end at 8 pm.

Her typical scheduling includes morning and mid-day appointments, with availability six days per week and occasional Sunday hours. Currently she is not accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Heather Salyers uses several evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and builds on their strengths; it helps people increase self-awareness, improve self-esteem, and navigate life transitions by placing the client at the center of the process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact, which can be particularly helpful for survivors of abuse and other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting techniques over time to find the best fit. This shared decision-making helps tailor care to real-life needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to connect with licensed professionals from their own settings, fit therapy into busy schedules, and continue work between sessions through messaging and shorter check-ins when appropriate.
