About Heather
LICSW in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience, Heather Kerble helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports people with grief, eating and body-image concerns, ADHD, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Heather names Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy as her main approaches.
Heather frames clients as the experts on their own stories and highlights their existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She listens for what is working and what needs to change, then uses evidence-informed strategies to address those areas.
In the room she balances short-term problem solving with deeper trauma work when needed. That can mean using mindfulness practices to reduce immediate stress, cognitive-behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts, or trauma-focused techniques to process past harm. Solution-Focused methods help when there are concrete changes a person wants to make quickly.
Heather pays attention to identity-related concerns, including gender dysphoria and LGBT issues, and works with people navigating non-monogamous relationships and communication problems. She also notes experience assisting clients who are hearing impaired and those dealing with guilt, shame, or self-love struggles.
Practical matters such as insurance and private pay are handled through her private practice. Prospective clients are invited to ask about payment options and whether services fit their needs before scheduling an initial appointment.

How Heather uses therapeutic approaches in remote care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps people clarify what matters most, and supports them in choosing next steps. This approach can help when someone needs space to sort out their values, identity, or relationship goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. It uses practical exercises and homework to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can be paired with other methods to manage immediate overwhelm and support emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
