Bernadette Heitschmidt is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin (WI LPC 11417 - 125) with 3 years of professional counseling experience.

Bernadette tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs, approaching others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She emphasizes supportive, empowering work that helps clients take the courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.
In addition to her counseling practice, Bernadette brings a background in higher education to her therapeutic approach.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major advantage of online therapy is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to maintain continuity of care during transitions.
All sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they would like a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, practical path to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns while working with qualified therapists.
