About Hiedi

Hiedi Gustin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and ADHD. She focuses on practical changes people can make day to day. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear guidance and steady support.

She emphasizes self-love and life purpose as central parts of healing. Sessions often include talking through patterns that lead to impulsive choices and working on concrete ways to manage strong emotions.

Background and approach

She also addresses forgiveness work when people are ready to let go of past hurts. Much of her work honors personal values and faith when clients want that included. She brings a values-centered perspective and listens for what matters most to each person.

That helps shape goals that feel meaningful and realistic. She has 12 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, and her background includes school-based services and outpatient programs. That experience contributes to practical strategies she uses in sessions, including skills for managing attention, impulsivity, and everyday stress.

Hiedi aims to create a respectful, authentic space where clients feel heard. She guides people toward greater calm, clearer purpose, and healthier patterns. Her approach is steady and compassionate, focused on small, achievable steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Hiedi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on improving daily functioning and emotional regulation. One common approach she uses helps people build concrete skills for managing attention and impulsivity, which can reduce overwhelm and improve routines. Another approach centers on processing past hurts and trauma in manageable steps so painful memories feel less triggering and people can move toward forgiveness and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying methods, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one path fits everyone.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports short updates or reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
