About Heidi
Heidi Hanusa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Nevada with 23 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem, career concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Heidi accepts international clients.
Heidi uses straightforward conversation and practical steps in sessions. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she works with clients to try different ways of responding, so reactions like snapping, built-up resentment, or workplace frustration change over time.
Her approach includes shaping a plan with clear goals and small, doable actions between meetings. Clients often work on recognizing triggers, learning ways to calm the body, and practicing new communication habits. Heidi keeps language simple and focuses on skills people can use in everyday moments.
She also addresses complex histories such as trauma, attachment and adoption-related concerns, and issues tied to caregiving or blended families. When substance use or mood conditions are involved, she looks at how those interact with coping, relationships, and daily routines.
Heidi frames therapy as collaborative work. She invites people to try strategies and then adjusts the plan based on what helps. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical tools rather than quick fixes or jargon.
How sessions work
Approaches you might use and how online sessions work
The practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can apply right away. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which looks at the thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and teaches practical ways to interrupt those patterns and try new responses. Another frequent method is trauma-informed work, which helps people reduce reactivity by identifying how past experiences shape current triggers and by building pacing and grounding strategies.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which approaches fit their goals and tolerance. Plans are adjusted based on what helps most, so clients play an active role in choosing tasks and practice exercises between sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions that rely on audio only if video is not preferred. The focus is on practical ways to integrate new skills into daily routines so therapy feels useful between sessions.
