About Heather
LICSW in Alabama with 10 years of clinical experience, Heather Callam focuses on relationships, family concerns, trauma and mood issues. Heather Callam helps people who are coping with anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar symptoms, parenting stresses, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem. She works with adults facing major life changes, career strain, and trouble managing anger and stress.
Heather uses a few different therapy styles to match the person sitting across from her. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and elements of existential work. Sessions tend to focus on what matters to the client, practical skills, and understanding how patterns from the past affect present relationships.
In a session Heather listens for what feels most blocking to a person and then helps them practice different ways to respond. That might mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new behavior patterns, naming attachment concerns, or clarifying values and goals. She also addresses issues tied to adoption, abandonment, hospice and end-of-life concerns, HIV/AIDS, and isolation when these are relevant.
Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented while also attending to feelings that come up. Heather describes therapy as a collaborative process where she and the client test what works and adjust the plan as needed. People can expect clear conversations about goals, steps to try between sessions, and check-ins on progress.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the MA LICSW, AL LICSW credentialing Heather holds. For scheduling, readers should use the site flow to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before booking.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take practical steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotion and attachment patterns in relationships, helping people name feelings and shift interaction cycles.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Heather will talk with the client about goals, current struggles, and personal preferences, then recommend an approach or a blend. She adjusts the plan as progress is tracked, trying different exercises and homework to see what fits.
The site describes online options during the booking flow, so confirm the current session formats before arranging time. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that are shorter when needed. Phone sessions can help when video is not possible, and video sessions let therapists observe nonverbal cues. Ask about particular formats on the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to fit daily life.
