About Heidi
Heidi Schlig is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in California. She has 14 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and career problems. She aims to make the first step easier and less overwhelming for a worried parent or adult navigating change.
Her approach in sessions is straightforward and warm. She listens without judgment and encourages clear, practical next steps. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be changed in small, manageable ways.
Background and approach
Heidi uses a mix of approaches that suit each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and on acceptance strategies to create more calm around difficult emotions. Attachment-informed ideas guide work on family and relationship themes when those come up.
Many clients come for help with parenting stress and family problems. Others seek support for attention and impulsivity concerns, workplace stress, or lingering trauma. She also addresses issues like abandonment, forgiveness, and the transition into young adulthood.
Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer choices rather than labels. Heidi works with each person to set realistic goals and track small improvements over time. Her style combines steady listening with concrete tools to make daily life feel more manageable.

Approaches you can use online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about parenting and work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought that feed worry or unhelpful behavior and replacing them with more helpful actions; it can be useful for anxiety, impulsivity, and workplace issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early ways of relating affect current family and relationship dynamics and can guide work on family problems and parenting tensions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily struggles, and preferences, then try techniques that fit. If something does not help, adjustments are made together so the plan feels practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed, live chat fits shorter visits, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule or a workday routine.
