About Heidi
Heidi Schnorr is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to find practical, realistic steps that fit each person's life. Sessions begin with a discussion about whether short-term counseling or longer work is more helpful for the situation.
With 16 years of experience as an LPC in New Jersey, she blends evidence-informed approaches like cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and attachment-focused work.
Background and approach
Heidi emphasizes simple skills people can use between sessions to cope with strong emotions and reduce worry. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients can expect conversations that focus on current problems, patterns from family of origin, and ways to improve communication and self-understanding.
She also addresses issues such as panic, mood problems, guilt, shame, life purpose, money worries, and first responder stress. Heidi takes a holistic view of mental health, noting how thoughts, feelings, and body sensations influence each other. She offers tools to notice unhelpful thinking, manage intense feelings, and build more satisfying daily routines.
In the first session she and the client clarify goals and decide together whether a brief plan or longer therapy makes more sense. The aim is steady progress through practical strategies, reflective work, and compassionate support.
How attachment, CBT, and DBT work in online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can help identify patterns in relationships and practice different ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In remote work this shows up as identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavioral changes between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It offers concrete skills people can use in strong moments, and those skills translate well to short check-ins by phone or text when immediate coping is needed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean a mix of skills training, reflective conversation, and problem-solving tasks agreed on together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text is helpful for brief check-ins or practicing skills, and texting can fit a short break during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into a real-life schedule.
