About Heather

Heather Kerble, LICSW, brings seven years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Background and approach

She also works with clients around ADHD, body image, eating concerns, gender dysphoria, communication problems, guilt and shame, and self-esteem. Heather frames therapy around each person's strengths and lived knowledge, viewing clients as experts on their own stories while offering guidance to move toward greater well-being.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, inviting clients to set goals and try practical strategies that fit their lives. Heather draws from evidence-informed methods such as Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to individual needs.

She is licensed to practice as a clinical social worker and is currently accepting new clients in South Carolina. Heather offers a warm, respectful approach that honors the courage it takes to seek change.

She welcomes questions about payment options, including insurance and personal pay, and partners with clients to design a path forward that feels manageable and hopeful.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Heather commonly uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice and relate to different parts of themselves, a gentle way to address internal conflicts and trauma-related material. This approach can support work on self-criticism, shame, and unresolved emotional patterns.

She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the client's own pace in finding solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process; Heather partners with clients to discover which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Heather is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from locations across South Carolina while working together on practical strategies and personal growth.
