About Heather
Heather Pantalone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, with ten years of experience based in Texas. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and related life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than labels.
Heather uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people respond differently to anger and stress. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep patterns going. Mindfulness and emotional regulation skills are used to help reduce reactivity and increase choice in difficult moments.
Her practice also incorporates acceptance and commitment concepts to clarify values and small, doable actions. Attachment-informed ideas are applied when relationship patterns and communication get in the way. Dialectical behavior strategies appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Heather helps clients set practical goals and builds step-by-step strategies to reach them. Progress is paced to fit each person’s life and time frame.
Heather’s background includes work with behavioral change, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. She blends these approaches with coaching elements when clients are looking for actionable plans for work, parenting, or personal growth.
How sessions work
How Heather’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Heather frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anger and stress. CBT is useful for problems like workplace frustration, sleep disruption, and repetitive negative thinking.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult emotions arise. ACT can be helpful for managing ongoing anger, grief, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration guides which skills are practiced and which goals are set for sessions.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on a workday. Phone sessions may use less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera is difficult. Discussing practical session timing and length happens during the first scheduling steps so therapy can fit into everyday life.
