Heidi Skattebo, LPC, LPCC

Heidi Skattebo is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, practical support as people work toward a more fulfilling life.

She uses a conversational style that invites honest talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions are meant to be nonjudgmental and straightforward. Heidi encourages people to name what matters most to them and to try small, achievable changes between meetings.

With four years of professional experience, Heidi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She often helps people build coping skills for life changes, manage impulsivity or compulsive behaviors, and navigate relationship or family stress. Heidi also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice includes work related to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and co-occurring challenges. She addresses communication problems, codependency, infidelity, and the fallout from domestic violence and separation in a practical way.

Heidi is licensed as an LPC and as an LPCC in Minnesota and practices in Wisconsin. She encourages clear goals, steady progress, and a collaborative approach so people can see what helps them most.

How evidence-based techniques work in online care

Heidi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and everyday habits. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding; this can reduce anxiety and low mood by changing what people do between sessions. Another approach emphasizes building small, concrete skills for coping with stress, managing impulses, and handling relationship strain; it helps with practical problems like time management, anger, and burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heidi will discuss different options and collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they focus on what actually helps in daily life.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can access support from where they are. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
