Heidi Schlig , LPCC

Heidi Schlig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with 14 years of professional experience. As an LPCC - a credential that indicates specialized training to provide clinical mental health care - she has worked with individuals facing stress and anxiety, family conflicts, parenting challenges, and career-related difficulties. Her practice emphasizes practical support and collaborative problem solving tailored to each person’s situation.

Heidi cultivates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings freely. She frames the decision to seek help as a courageous first step and offers steady guidance through the change process. By listening carefully and working alongside clients, she helps them clarify goals, develop coping strategies, and find more satisfying ways to manage relationships, work pressures, and day-to-day demands.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to commit to actions that align with personal values - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in close relationships, helping people address abandonment, attachment wounds, and family dynamics by understanding how early experiences shape current interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills for changing thinking patterns and building healthier coping strategies, which can be useful for anxiety, impulsivity, and workplace or parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heidi works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they may blend methods or adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can connect with licensed professionals from home or between commitments. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care and access to ongoing support.
