About Hiedi
Hiedi Gustin is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and challenges related to ADHD. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, impulsivity, self-harm, forgiveness, life purpose, self-love, and concerns common to women.
Her style is direct and values-centered. She names faith and traditional values as important influences and uses that perspective when it fits a person's needs. Sessions emphasize listening and practical steps rather than abstract talk. Hiedi aims to help people notice what matters to them and take manageable actions toward those priorities.
In practice she helps people rebuild a sense of self-worth and manage anxious or impulsive behaviors. For those affected by trauma and abuse she works to reduce the ongoing impact on daily life and relationships. When ADHD is part of the picture she focuses on strategies to manage attention, impulsivity, and the resulting stress.
Hiedi has experience in school-based services, outpatient care, and intensive outpatient programs with children and adolescents, though the profile concentrates on adult concerns. Her approach blends respect for personal values with straightforward therapeutic skills to address present difficulties and next steps.
People who want to explore life purpose or deepen self-love can expect practical discussion about values and behavior changes. She encourages clear goals and concrete planning alongside emotional processing.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Hiedi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clarity. One commonly used approach helps people identify personal values and link those values to specific actions that shape daily life and choices. This supports people who feel directionless after a job change, relationship shift, or health event.Another approach addresses trauma-related symptoms by teaching skills to manage triggers and reduce their hold on everyday functioning. This method helps people reclaim routines and improve relationships affected by past abuse or loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hiedi will review a person's needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate to choose methods that fit. This means adjusting homework, skills practice, and session focus over time rather than sticking to a preset plan.
If you plan to pursue sessions remotely, confirm the current formats before booking since the biography does not list specific session types. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so conversations can happen between other obligations. Licensed professionals can help you pick a session rhythm that matches your schedule and goals.
