About Heidi
Heidi Fox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York and Pennsylvania with 28 years of experience. She supports adults coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, and issues tied to guilt and shame. She offers practical, down-to-earth help rather than abstract theory.
She prefers straightforward conversation and clear goals. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and building small, manageable changes. Heidi uses humor at times and speaks plainly about difficult feelings so people can say what they really mean.
Her work often addresses loneliness, emptiness, and questions of life purpose alongside family of origin concerns. She has experience with attachment struggles, autism spectrum-related challenges, and personality issues that affect relationships. Heidi also helps people navigating aging, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and first responder stress.
When addiction or substance concerns appear, she talks through triggers, coping options, and practical steps for reducing harm. For mood disorders or grief, she helps sort symptoms from life events and plans reasonable next steps that fit daily life. Expect direct feedback and collaborative planning rather than vague reassurance.
Clients come for frank conversation about guilt or shame rooted in family, faith, or relationship histories. Heidi works with each person to name the feelings and test small changes in thinking and behavior. To begin, she asks about current concerns and what a realistic first step would look like.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Heidi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on current problems and clear steps for change. One common approach she relies on breaks down unhelpful thinking and teaches practical ways to test different thoughts and responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and guilt-related rumination. Another approach emphasizes identifying patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people understand how past connections shape current behavior and feelings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heidi collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss what feels useful and adjust plans as the work continues, so the process is a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription. If you want to try online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals can also vary pacing and exercises to suit remote sessions, for example using focused check-ins, homework that fits daily routines, and practical tools that transfer into everyday life.Areas of expertise
