About Heather Salyers

Heather Salyers is licensed in Kentucky and brings six years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and depression. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. Heather emphasizes collaboration and supports clients as they take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling, happier life.

She offers flexible session lengths of 30 or 45 minutes to accommodate different needs and preferences, and she schedules appointments six days a week with occasional Sunday hours. Currently, Heather is offering appointments in the morning and mid-day. Initial meetings commonly serve as an assessment to understand what brought a person to therapy and to identify where to begin the work together.

To meet clients where they are, Heather accepts video, chat, or phone sessions and encourages messaging throughout the week; she aims to respond promptly, with responses generally sent until the end of the workday at 8 pm. Her approach centers on support, practical collaboration, and adapting format and pacing to each person's situation.

Approaches for Online Work and What to Expect

Heather integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused approaches into online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own goals and values - this approach is useful for building self-esteem and motivation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms, making it a common choice for anxiety and depression. Trauma-focused therapy targets the effects of traumatic events with strategies to process difficult memories and develop coping skills, which can be particularly helpful for those who have experienced abuse or overwhelming life events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaboration helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Heather is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility in scheduling and format. These options can make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or other commitments and let clients engage in ways that feel most comfortable for them.
