About Heidi

Heidi Schlig is an LPCC with 14 years of clinical experience practicing in California. She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-based approaches, to help people manage stress, anxiety, workplace challenges, and family concerns.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work with parenting questions, ADHD-related struggles, and issues such as abandonment, impulsivity, forgiveness, and post-traumatic stress. Heidi prioritizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and try practical tools that fit their everyday lives.

She emphasizes clear, skill-based strategies alongside deeper exploration of relationship patterns and values to support change. Whether someone is navigating career transitions, family disagreements, or the effects of past wounds, she aims to partner with them to identify goals and steps forward.

Clients can expect a warm, goal-oriented process that balances active interventions with empathic listening. Heidi frames progress as a joint effort, tailoring approaches to each person’s priorities and readiness for change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Heidi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, stress, and workplace or parenting challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements this by focusing on values-guided action and learning to make room for difficult feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early dynamics that shape current relationships, helping people understand and shift how they connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heidi works with each client to consider their concerns, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and practical. This collaborative exploration helps determine which interventions will best support the client’s progress.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for fitting therapy into busy schedules and for maintaining continuity when in-person visits are difficult. These options allow clients to practice skills between sessions and to engage in therapy from locations that work for them while still receiving guidance from licensed professionals.
