About Heidi

Heidi Hanusa is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 23 years of clinical experience working from Nevada. She focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Heidi also supports people navigating attention-related challenges including ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, and identity concerns within LGBT populations. Her practice emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, with an individualized approach to each person's goals.

She works collaboratively to shape conversations and treatment plans so they reflect a client's values, strengths, and practical needs. Heidi aims to create a supportive environment that helps clients build motivation, improve self-esteem, and develop skills for coping with anger, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and other everyday pressures.

With a history that includes work on attachment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, dissociation, and substance-related issues, Heidi draws on broad clinical experience to address both common and complex difficulties. She welcomes clients who are ready to take a courageous step toward greater wellbeing and offers guidance through the process of change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Heidi employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One commonly used approach emphasizes skill building and coping strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related difficulties; it teaches concrete tools for organizing tasks, reducing overwhelm, and improving daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, helping people process past hurt, build safety in relationships, and reduce the impact of traumatic memories on present life.

Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to explore symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and then tailors the therapeutic plan. Adjustments are made over time so the approach stays aligned with progress and emerging needs.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. These formats make it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
