About Heidi
Heidi Skattebo is a licensed counselor who aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or short-tempered. She focuses on practical steps clients can use when stress, anxiety, anger, or life transitions get in the way of daily life. Heidi writes in an approachable way and prioritizes clear, calm conversations.
She brings four years of professional experience to sessions and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, LPCC.
Background and approach
Heidi works with concerns like depression, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, and attention-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship strains, and family-related stress. In the room she aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
Conversations focus on identifying patterns, learning small coping skills, and trying new behaviors between sessions. The approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to what will help day-to-day functioning. Heidi also addresses more specific struggles such as impulsivity, communication problems, compulsive behaviors, and isolation.
She pays attention to how work, parenting, and past experiences influence current reactions. Clients who want practical strategies and steady support may find this helpful. Her practice is based in Wisconsin and sessions are offered in English.
The first session is an opportunity to set goals and decide together what steps feel most useful going forward.

Approaches that help with anger and life changes
Heidi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is brief skills work that teaches breathing, grounding, and impulse-control strategies to manage angry reactions and everyday stress. These tools are useful for moments when immediate techniques can reduce distress and improve decision-making.Another approach emphasizes behavioral experiments and small steps to test new ways of coping. This involves trying different responses between sessions and reviewing what worked, which helps with patterns like avoidance, impulsivity, and low mood. The aim is to build habits that support calmer responses and clearer thinking.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the client's situation, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. This collaborative process helps make sure techniques match what the client needs and can actually use in daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work through issues face-to-face from a chosen location. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick reflections or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life, or busy schedules.
