About Heather
Heather Callam is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with ten years of experience based in Alabama. She focuses on relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Heather also addresses stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English.
Heather approaches therapy with clear, practical conversation. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps name emotions that are hard to put into words. Work in sessions might include talking through difficult memories, practicing new ways of handling conflict, or learning techniques to manage mood and worry.
Her methods draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy. That mix can be used to focus on attachment and relationship patterns, values and action, problem-focused skills, or meaning and purpose.
Heather often helps people sort family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and complex feelings such as guilt, shame, or emptiness. She also supports those coping with aging and end-of-life topics, adoption and foster care histories, domestic violence aftermath, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and isolation or loneliness.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Heather uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help name and work with emotions that show up in relationships. EFT focuses on attachment-related patterns and on changing how people respond to each other emotionally. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her practice and emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings while taking action toward what matters. Client-Centered Therapy informs the way she listens and responds, prioritizing the client's perspective and pacing. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to pick which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and she discusses options together to decide what to try next. Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. They also let people choose settings that are quieter or more comfortable for focusing on emotional material. If you want to proceed, use the matching questionnaire to identify possible session options and schedule an initial meeting.Areas of expertise
