About Heather
Heather Scarboro is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns. She offers straightforward, calm guidance for people facing grief, career strain, ADHD challenges, mood concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Heather aims to create a practical space where people can talk through life changes and painful experiences.
She draws on Existential therapy to help clients weigh values, meaning, and choice when life feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Heather also uses Client-Centered methods to listen closely and reflect what matters to each person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her work for building emotional regulation and coping tools. Heather has around ten years of professional experience and holds the LCMHC credential in North Carolina.
She has worked in elder care, community mental health, and university settings, and has supported people from the LGBTQIAP+ community and frontline worker groups. That breadth informs a practical, flexible way of working with varied concerns. Sessions typically focus on concrete strategies alongside deeper conversations about identity and meaning.
Heather mixes skills training, focused conversation, and trauma-informed methods when appropriate. Clients can expect collaborative planning and options that fit their pace and goals. Outside of clinical work she engages in music and the arts and shares educational writing and talks about dissociative disorders.
That creative perspective often shows up in how she helps people name experiences and build new ways forward.

Online support
How Heather’s Approaches Work Online
Existential therapy helps people look at questions of meaning, choice, and values when life feels uncertain; it can support those coping with grief, major life changes, identity concerns, and stress. Client-Centered therapy focuses on being heard and understood so a person can find their own answers; it is useful for building trust and exploring feelings at a steady pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress during hard moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Heather will work together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more toward meaning-making, reflective listening, or skills training.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video allows fuller face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer written conversation. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while maintaining a steady therapeutic focus.
