About Heidi

Heidi Whyte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Montana. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, mood changes, and relationship challenges. Her practical style aims to help people make small, steady changes that improve daily life. She brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions and has supported people with trauma, parenting strains, career stress, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Heidi uses a mix of approaches so the work fits each person’s needs rather than forcing one method on everyone. In a session she listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. Heidi draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters to them. She also uses attachment-focused and client-centered techniques to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. Her work is trauma-informed and strengths-based, which means she looks for personal resources to build on. Treatment plans are tailored to individual goals and adjusted as progress is made. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and homework when it helps. Heidi encourages people who are feeling stuck to reach out when they are ready. The first steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the site. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and then choose actions that align with their values. It often helps with stress, anxiety, and problems that come from getting stuck in unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, mood, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection patterns and supports building safer, more reliable ways of relating to others and oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heidi will discuss these options with each person and decide together which methods match their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Many people find that remote appointments help them keep continuity of care and maintain momentum while juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
