About Heidi
Heidi Schlig is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in California with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people who are facing career pressure, parenting challenges, and family tensions. Heidi aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling and thinking.
She describes starting therapy as a courageous step and offers steady support through that process. Heidi uses straightforward conversations to sort through what is most pressing.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns in relationships and daily life that contribute to stress or impulsive reactions. Together with clients she identifies small, practical changes that can reduce overwhelm and improve functioning at work and home. Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice thoughts without getting swept away.
Cognitive behavioral methods are used to pinpoint unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, boundaries, and feelings of abandonment when those issues come up. She also uses motivational interviewing to strengthen resolve for change and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs. Heidi aims for therapy that feels useful from week to week. People often come for help with workplace stress, parenting strain, ADHD-related impulsivity, post-traumatic stress, or transitions into young adulthood.
Heidi works in plain language and focuses on practical tools that fit everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Heidi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT emphasizes values and small, committed actions that move a person toward the life they want, which can be useful for anxiety and persistent stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors in real life. CBT is hands-on and focuses on practical experiments that reduce worry, improve sleep, and ease workplace or parenting stress.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Then she tailors techniques so sessions match each person's needs and pace in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay consistent with care. Video calls let people work through emotions face to face and practice skills with direct feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or scheduling is limited. Live chat and text messaging support short check-ins, homework review, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and different routines.
