About Heather

Heather Pantalone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She offers calm, practical support for everyday struggles like sleep problems, self-esteem, work stress, and relationship pain. Heather keeps language simple and works at each person’s pace so steps toward change feel achievable.

Heather draws on 10 years of practice and uses approaches that include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Background and approach

She encourages small experiments in behavior and attention to emotions so clients can test what helps. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and checking what feels different between meetings. Her background includes social work licensure in Texas and Massachusetts - LCSW in Texas and LICSW in Massachusetts.

Heather also has experience addressing addictions, trauma and grief, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She combines problem-solving with a focus on emotions and attachment patterns to help people better understand their reactions. In the first meetings she will listen to what matters most and then outline practical steps to try.

That plan may include mindfulness exercises, tracking thoughts and actions, and building tolerable routines. Heather partners with clients to set achievable goals and adjust them as progress appears. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.

Approaches Heather names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and changing unhelpful interaction patterns. It helps people understand how feelings shape responses in relationships and daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches people to notice thoughts without getting stuck, clarify values, and take small actions toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed with important people and helps people build more supported ways of relating and responding to stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Together you will decide what to focus on and adjust strategies as you learn what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you work face-to-face when you want a deeper interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent across busy schedules.
