About Heidi
Heidi Skattebo is a licensed professional counselor who aims to help people find steadier footing during stressful times. She meets people where they are and listens to what feels most pressing. Her style is direct and compassionate, intended to make conversations feel straightforward and useful.
She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Parenting is listed among her focuses, so she supports parents working through parenting-related strain and questions.
Background and approach
She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, and career-related stress. Heidi brings four years of clinical experience and holds LPC and LPCC credentials. She practices from Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English.
Her approach emphasizes building an open, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk through feelings and try different ways of responding to problems. In sessions she will listen, reflect back patterns, and help develop practical steps to reduce distress. Conversations often include problem-solving, planning small behavior changes, and checking what works between meetings.
That makes the work feel concrete instead of vague. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Heidi frames early sessions as a chance to set clear goals. She helps people identify what matters most and then tries out strategies that fit daily life.
This practical focus aims to make changes stick beyond the therapy hour.

How therapeutic methods and online sessions fit together
Heidi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach is behavioral problem solving, which breaks large problems into small, testable steps to reduce anxiety or manage mood swings. Another is skills-focused work that teaches ways to handle strong emotions, improve communication, and build routines that support daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Early sessions focus on understanding the client's main concerns, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist try approaches that match what the client wants to change and adjust methods if something isn't helpful.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect that can fit busy lives. Video calls let people use gestures and facial cues for fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when a video call is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support possible without scheduling a long session, and they can be useful for clarifying steps between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to work, childcare, or other demands.
