About Heidi
Heidi Whyte is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Montana. She works with adults who are juggling stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. Her tone is practical and calm, and she focuses on helping people take small, doable steps toward better days.
Heidi draws on several well-known methods to shape sessions around each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to build trust and safety in the room. Sessions are tailored, goal-oriented, and grounded in real life.
Heidi combines a strengths-based outlook with trauma-informed listening. She helps clients make concrete plans for coping with stress, improving sleep, managing impulsive habits, and rebuilding relationships. With seven years of clinical experience, Heidi brings steady support and practical tools rather than quick fixes.
She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps you can use between sessions. Many clients find that breaking problems into manageable pieces makes progress feel possible. Heidi offers a flexible online practice with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
She works in English and serves people located in Montana. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How Heidi’s approaches work online
Heidi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and the stuck feeling that often comes with life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is practical and skills-focused, which can help with mood, sleep, impulsive habits, and daily routines often affected by ADHD.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Heidi will talk with you about your goals and preferences and then try methods that fit your situation. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different ways people like to communicate.
