About Heidi
Heidi Skattebo is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She emphasizes a straightforward, supportive approach so people can talk about what matters most. Heidi works with honesty and calm to help clients take the first steps toward feeling better.
She has four years of professional experience and is licensed as an LPC and an LPCC. In sessions she aims to make space for honest conversation without judgment. That space is used to identify patterns that feel stuck and to try small, practical steps that can change day-to-day life.
Heidi has worked with issues including addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, career stress, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also gives attention to adoption and foster care matters and to autism and Asperger Syndrome when those topics come up in a person's life. Her practice addresses relationship and communication problems, codependency, isolation, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.
Her style focuses on clear goals and steady progress. Sessions aim to build confidence, improve coping skills, and reduce symptoms that interfere with routine life. Heidi supports people through transitions like separation or divorce and through recovery after trauma or domestic violence.
She practices in Wisconsin and holds licensing credentials in both Wisconsin and Minnesota as LPC and LPCC. People who want to try therapy start by answering a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How evidence-based work can fit into online therapy
Heidi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce symptoms and build day-to-day skills. One common method focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior through guided steps and practice; it helps with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem by teaching concrete skills to test new ways of responding. Another helpful strand emphasizes managing strong emotions and building coping routines, which can ease overwhelm from trauma, grief, or compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that seem likely to fit, and adjust based on what helps. Goals are practical and specific so progress can be noticed between sessions.
If you are considering online work, confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to fit therapy into a busy week. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to schedule around parenting, work, or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals help clients pick the best structure based on needs, goals, and daily life constraints.
