About Heather Thorson

I am a clinically licensed social worker in the State of Nevada (License 7740-C) and Washington State (License SWI.LW.70106637). I was originally licensed as a social worker in 2008 and have been clinically licensed since November 2017 (License 7740-C). I also serve as an approved clinical supervisor for interns pursuing clinical social work licensure in both Nevada and Alabama.

I have extensive experience supporting clients through stress and anxiety, depression, motivation challenges, low self-esteem, confidence-building, and navigating major life transitions. I believe you are the expert of your own story, and that within you are strengths, insights, and resilience that can guide you through your most difficult moments. Seeking support is a courageous step toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and empowered life—and I am here to walk alongside you in that process.

My therapeutic approach primarily draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness, grounding strategies, and intentional practices to help you cultivate clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable personal growth.

“Heather has been great. She has helped me understand where I need to go and what I need to do. Difficult to hear sometimes but in the end I am getting better.”

“Heather is my second betterhelp therapist and equally matches the first if not exceeds the first. She is very kind and overly appreciative when given information she needs in order to help me. She makes me laugh more than I have in some time.”
