About Heidi
Heidi Hanusa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, licensed in Nevada with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, career questions, addictions, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with life changes, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Clients can expect direct conversation and practical focus. Heidi listens for what matters now and helps clarify small steps forward. She adapts discussions and plans to the concerns someone brings, rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.
Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also helps people dealing with body image, codependency, commitment issues, dissociation, and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Heidi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors. Sessions often center on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and practicing different ways of responding in everyday life. She aims for steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
For people navigating major shifts in work, relationships, or health, Heidi helps sort priorities and test realistic options. She welcomes international clients who communicate in English and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Heidi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, trauma, and relationship concerns. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; this helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation by teaching concrete skills to change daily patterns. Trauma-focused methods include grounding and processing strategies that reduce distress from past events and improve functioning in relationships and everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heidi works together with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods as therapy unfolds so the work stays relevant to what is happening now.
