About Heather
Heather Marrs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, and depression. She emphasizes each person's strengths and treats clients as the experts in their own stories. Heather seeks to make the first steps toward help feel understandable and manageable.
Her approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy, which means listening carefully and following the client's pace. Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear goals rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She helps people talk through what feels overwhelming and find steps they can try between sessions. Heather often supports people facing major life changes. She works on coping strategies that fit everyday routines, so progress can feel real and sustainable.
She also addresses communication problems and feelings of isolation that come with life transitions. Forgiveness and life purpose are additional areas Heather addresses. Conversations may include identifying values, rebuilding trust with oneself or others, and clarifying next steps.
These topics are handled in straightforward, relatable language. Sessions may include brainstorming, reflective listening, and practical next steps. Heather aims to help people leave a session with something they can try that week.
Her style is steady, supportive, and focused on what the client wants to work on.

Client-Centered Care Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's pace. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story, reflect on their strengths, and choose the next steps. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges by centering what matters most to the client.Heather uses a collaborative stance to figure out what will help most. She will work together with each person to decide which ways of working feel right. That might mean checking in on goals, trying short practical tasks between sessions, or adjusting how sessions are structured to fit a person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text sessions offer more flexibility for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep therapy consistent over time.
