About Heidi
Heidi Skattebo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with four years of clinical experience in Wisconsin and Minnesota. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Heidi also works with concerns such as addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and patterns of codependency.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now, identify patterns that keep causing pain, and try small, manageable changes. Heidi listens for how relationships, work, or family pressures shape daily choices and coping.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward skills and steady problem solving. That can include setting boundaries, managing intense emotions, and rebuilding self-trust after difficult events. When addictive or compulsive behaviors are present, she looks at how those habits fit into a person’s life and what steps feel realistic to change.
Heidi brings experience with related concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people affected by adoption and foster care issues, autism spectrum questions, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and intellectual disability topics.
People who prefer direct, practical conversation about their struggles often do well with her. To start someone would complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session where goals and next steps are discussed.
How sessions work
Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Heidi uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach she uses emphasizes building concrete coping skills for anxiety and depression, like breathing and grounding practices and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These methods help reduce overwhelm and make daily life more manageable. Another approach she uses looks at relationship patterns and boundaries. This involves identifying repeating habits in relationships, practicing clear ways to say no, and planning small actions that protect personal time and energy. That work is useful for people who find themselves putting others first or struggling around someone else's mood or substance use. Finding the right approach is part of what the first sessions are for. She works with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts plans over time. The therapist and client decide together what feels doable and helpful. Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or let someone choose phone-only sessions when video is not practical. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and comfort.Areas of focus
