About Heidi
Heidi Hanusa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Nevada with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, career questions, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Heidi uses straightforward conversation to untangle immediate problems and set practical steps forward. Sessions focus on identifying what feels stuck, clarifying goals, and practicing skills that reduce overwhelm. She adapts the pace to each person and emphasizes clear, usable strategies rather than abstract talk.
Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people through loss, trauma, and major transitions. That experience informs how she helps clients manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and make decisions that fit their lives. Her work also covers attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family dynamics.
Heidi supports people dealing with addiction, codependency, body image, and caregiver stress. She addresses communication problems, commitment worries, and the fallout of separation or divorce. She also works with issues linked to autism and dissociation when they affect everyday functioning.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Heidi works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on problems people bring to therapy. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and depression, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm and lift mood. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people notice repeated reactions, try new responses, and improve communication in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heidi treats this as a collaborative process where the client’s goals, needs, and day-to-day constraints guide which techniques are tried first. She adjusts methods over time based on what the client finds helpful and what produces small, practical changes.
The online format can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to check in during periods of transition. The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can support shorter check-ins, regular weekly sessions, or focused visits around a life change depending on what the client and therapist agree will fit best.
