Heidi Schlig, LPCC - Therapist in California

About Heidi

Heidi Schlig is a California-licensed LPCC with 14 years of professional experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, family concerns, parenting questions, career shifts, and ADHD-related struggles. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable. Her style is straightforward and calm, focusing on practical conversation rather than jargon.

Heidi creates a space where people can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings. She listens without judgment and helps clients name what matters most to them.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with clear goals agreed together. Her background includes work with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, and family problems. She also addresses impulsivity, forgiveness, post-traumatic stress, workplace stress, and challenges common to young adults.

That range informs her approach and lets her draw on different tools for different situations. Heidi uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. She blends practical exercises with reflective conversation to help clients notice patterns and try small changes.

Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what’s shifting. She offers sessions in English from California and works by video, phone, live chat, or text message. Therapy follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and availability.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about work or parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, impulsivity, and workplace stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and can be useful when family conflict, abandonment concerns, or relationship patterns are central issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heidi will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. She adjusts tools over time based on what is helping and what is not, so clients are involved in choosing the path forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing parenting, work, and other demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging support check-ins and brief exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into a busy life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
