About Heidi

How Heidi works
Sessions aim to reduce shame and increase practical coping skills. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting strain, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing relationship challenges, career stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and life transitions.
Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, and obsessive-compulsive issues. Heidi favors straightforward talk and collaborative problem solving. She helps clients set achievable goals and practices small changes between sessions.
Progress is tracked in ways that make sense to each person rather than relying on abstract measures. She offers multiple online formats to fit busy schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Approaches and how they work online
Heidi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and skill building. One common approach emphasizes learning specific coping tools for anxiety and stress - breathing, activity planning, and breaking problems into smaller steps - which helps when worry or overwhelm gets in the way of daily life. Another approach centers on improving mood and motivation by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new behaviors, useful for depression, low energy, and goal-directed work.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Heidi will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best. She discusses goals, listens to preferences, and adjusts methods over time so treatment matches the client's needs and pace rather than following a fixed script.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect and respond on their own schedule. These options help fit counseling into work days, caregiving schedules, or other busy routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
