Heberlein defended her dissertation Kränkningar och förlåtelse (Abuses and forgiveness) at Lund University in 2005. The thesis was about guilt, shame, moral responsibility, abuses and forgiveness for the dissertation.
In January 2007, she began teaching practical philosophy at Stockholm University, while working on a project about the criminal justice system. Since 2009, Heberlein has worked at Lund University.
She wrote Den sexuella människan in 2004, and contributed to Systematisk teologi (Martinsson, Sigurdson & Svenungsson, 2007). In 2008, Heberlein published the book Det var inte mitt fel! Om konsten att ta ansvar.

In 2008, Heberlein published Jag vill inte dö, jag vill bara inte leva, an autobiographical book about her life with suicidal thoughts and severe anxiety and bipolar disorder, which brought her nationwide attention. In 2012 her book became a play at Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern in Stockholm.
On 24 May 2016, Heberlein resigned from Sydsvenskan after claiming that culture editor Rakel Chukri had forbidden her from writing critically about immigration or Islam on her private Facebook page. Chukri denied having made such a request in an interview.
