Heather Phelps, LISW-CP

Heather Phelps is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and has six years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, parenting struggles, and relationship and family problems. She also supports grief, caregiver stress, isolation, and mood concerns.

Heather has worked both as a clinic-based therapist and as a clinic director. In recent years she has created and taught wellness programs for children and adults that cover mindfulness, movement, problem-solving, communication, social connection, coping, and relaxation skills. She has developed a Mindful Parenting Program she uses with parents facing daily strain.

Her work leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, Solution-Focused ideas, and Trauma-Focused approaches. She draws on those methods to help people notice patterns, practice new responses, and try small changes that make daily life easier.

Sessions are collaborative. Heather describes her approach as client-centered and works with each person to build a practical plan. That can include short-term problem-focused tools or longer work on trauma, coping skills, and relationships.

She also teaches movement and meditation techniques to add a practical element to talk work. Heather uses simple, concrete exercises for breathing, grounding, and communication so people can test strategies between sessions.
