About Heidi
Heidi Hanusa is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Nevada with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing substance issues, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and the practical strains of parenting and caregiving.
Her approach is conversational and focused on what matters now. Sessions look at patterns people bring from their families of origin and how those patterns affect current relationships, work, and self-image. Heidi listens for repeated roles and expectations that show up across situations, then helps people notice different options.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, coping, and mood regulation. That can mean practicing new ways to talk about needs, learning pacing and grounding skills for stress, or setting realistic steps toward change. Sessions mix reflection with concrete skills to manage everyday problems.
Heidi emphasizes collaborative planning so goals are clear from the start. Clients and therapist set manageable steps for change and check progress together. The work moves at a pace set by the person in therapy.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Heidi draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on thinking and behavior patterns and on practical coping skills. Cognitive-based methods involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations, which can reduce anxiety and improve decision making. Skills-based strategies teach concrete ways to manage stress and mood, such as grounding or pacing techniques that help with panic, grief, or emotion swings.Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding useful tools and clearer ways of relating to family patterns and current stressors.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, audio-only sessions can reduce bandwidth needs, and scheduling from different locations can cut commute time. These practical advantages help people keep therapy consistent while managing everyday responsibilities.
