About Heidi
Heidi Long is an Arizona licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anger, anxiety, stress, relationship and parenting struggles, grief, substance issues, and self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Heidi focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. She listens to what is happening day to day and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. In sessions she uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide the work.
She has experience with a wide range of life challenges, including adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, autism-related issues, blended family dynamics, trauma and abuse, and first responder issues. Heidi also supports people dealing with eating and sleep problems, attention challenges, and coping with major life changes.
In practical terms she talks through concrete skills and communication strategies. That may include noticing bodily signs of anger, building small behavior changes, or practicing new ways to speak about hard topics. Expect a collaborative process where goals are agreed and progress is reviewed.
Her background as an LMFT informs a relational focus on how patterns between people affect feelings and behavior. If you want straightforward help with anger or related problems, she offers a direct, skills-oriented approach that connects daily life to therapy work.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter day to day. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions; it is helpful when anger links to trust, closeness, or hurt in relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on skill building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help when anger becomes overwhelming or leads to repeated conflicts.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking since the profile does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving schedule, reduce commute time, and let people practice skills in real-life settings soon after a session. Phone options can be a shorter check-in when video is difficult, and video sessions allow visual cues for attachment and interaction work. These practical benefits help weave therapy into daily life while the therapist and client test what works best.
