Heather Pantalone

Heather Pantalone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship strain. She draws on ten years of experience to guide straightforward, practical steps for coping and change. Heather aims to make starting therapy simple and doable for busy lives. Heather uses clear, skill-based methods rooted in cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness. She focuses on emotional regulation, behavioral change, and building helpful routines. Sessions often include setting short-term goals and practicing strategies between meetings. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, and client-centered care. That means she pays attention to your values and relationships, and she listens without judgment. Together, client and therapist identify small, manageable changes that support larger growth. Heather also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She can help people who struggle with addictions, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, or major life changes by teaching concrete tools and planning steps forward. Based in Texas, Heather supports people who want coaching-style collaboration alongside clinical care. New clients complete a short questionnaire to match goals and then schedule sessions. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for stuckness, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve routines. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape feelings and reactions, and it can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family of origin issues. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Then they choose or combine methods so sessions match what the client needs and what feels doable. Confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in this profile. Many people find online therapy helpful because it makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and supports practicing skills between meetings. Heather’s focus on skills, goals, and values adapts well to remote sessions, and she will help plan practical steps clients can use in everyday life.
