About Heidi
Heidi Hanusa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Nevada with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, motivation, and addictions, and she lists codependency among her additional areas of focus.
She works in straightforward, conversational sessions. Conversations are shaped to the person's needs and goals. Heidi adapts how she talks and plans work so people can use what they learn between meetings.
Her approach centers on practical steps and clear discussion. She attends to how past losses or attachment wounds affect current relationships and behavior. Sessions may include talking through difficult memories, problem-solving current stressors, and building clearer boundaries or coping strategies.
Heidi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She pays attention to mood, motivation, and how patterns of thinking or behavior keep problems going. The work often looks at relationships, communication patterns, and how everyday routines support or undermine wellbeing.
People who reach out can expect a steady, organized process toward their goals. Heidi asks about history, current struggles, and what the person wants to change. From that information she and the person plan follow-up steps and practical actions to try between sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Heidi uses evidence-based techniques that help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep anxiety, low mood, or compulsive caring behaviors going; this work aims to build clearer choices and everyday skills. Another strand attends to attachment and past losses, looking at how earlier relationships affect present responses and relationship habits, which can help with grief, codependency patterns, and repeated relationship problems.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist asks about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they test methods and adjust the plan based on what the person finds useful and practical.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. Some formats are better when a shorter check-in or no-camera option is helpful, while video sessions allow fuller face-to-face conversation. Discuss format preferences when scheduling so sessions match daily routines and technical needs.
