About Heidi
Heidi Skattebo is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, with four years of clinical experience working in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She focuses on common struggles adults bring to therapy, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Heidi aims to help people notice patterns that make daily life harder and find practical ways to respond differently.
In sessions she encourages clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress. She listens for how habits of thought and behavior keep problems active, then works with clients to try alternatives. That can mean practicing different ways to speak up, calm down, or set boundaries in real situations.
Her background includes helping people with relationship friction, grief, career stress, ADHD, and addiction concerns. She also supports clients managing trauma, domestic violence histories, and the effects of adoption or foster care. Heidi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to focus on skills that change how people react and relate.
Therapy with her tends to be practical and goal-oriented. Sessions often include straightforward feedback, skill practice, and planning for real-life moments when anger or anxiety might spike. She asks clients for small, measurable steps between appointments so progress is easier to notice.
People who want direct conversation about behavior, clear tools for managing emotion, and steady problem-solving may find her approach useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Heidi uses evidence-based techniques focused on changing responses and building practical skills. One common approach is skills training that teaches strategies for managing intense emotions, like breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans for de-escalation. This kind of work helps when anger flares at home, at work, or in relationships.Another core approach is behavioral change work, which looks at actions that keep problems going and replaces them with different behaviors. That can include role-playing conversations, rehearsing boundaries, and setting short experiments to test new ways of reacting. These methods tend to help with impulsivity, communication problems, and rebuilding trust after conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match the client's goals, preferences, and everyday routines. That may mean adjusting homework, practicing skills in session, or trying different pacing until it fits.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Phone or video formats each have practical trade-offs such as ease of use, camera use, and how long a session feels, so discuss which works best during the matching process.
