About Heidi
Heidi Whyte is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Montana. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and major life changes. Heidi also works with clients facing grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, ADHD, and challenges related to adoption and foster care.
She uses straightforward, empathetic conversation to help people sort through what matters most. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer thinking so clients can try things that make daily life easier. Heidi aims to tailor each plan to a person’s strengths and goals rather than use a one-size-fits-all method.
Her background includes seven years of clinical work across a range of concerns. Heidi draws on several approaches in session, including cognitive behavioral techniques for unhelpful thinking patterns, attachment-focused ideas for relationship struggles, and acceptance-based strategies for stress and difficult feelings.
She describes her style as compassionate and respectful. Heidi pays attention to a person’s history, current stressors, and what they hope to change. That helps her shape sessions that feel relevant and doable.
Clients commonly practice new skills between meetings and check progress together. Heidi supports people who want clearer boundaries, better coping skills, or to process past trauma. When someone is ready to make changes, she focuses on realistic steps toward their goals.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance is getting in the way of a meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and trust, which can help people who struggle with closeness or feeling secure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning, often helping with depression, anxiety, and coping with change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heidi will listen to your goals and preferences, and together you can try methods that match what you need. She often blends ideas so sessions stay practical and focused on what you want to improve.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in real life and bring those experiences back to session for troubleshooting and progress checks.
