About Heidi
Heidi Whyte is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and phobias. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so parents and busy adults can find real momentum quickly. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she works to match tools to each person's needs.
Heidi draws from several therapy methods to shape each session. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to examine unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also brings in client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the person's own priorities and strengths. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship and intimacy concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used for emotion regulation and coping skills when stress or intense feelings get in the way.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take committed steps forward when avoidance or fear is limiting daily life. She has seven years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW, which she uses to guide practical, strengths-focused care.
Heidi has supported people dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, career shifts, ADHD, and a wide range of other issues listed in her practice areas. Heidi provides sessions from Montana in English and offers multiple online formats. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps find a good fit and schedule sessions that align with your life.
How Heidi blends approaches online
Heidi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety, phobias, or low mood. CBT sessions often include clear, short exercises and practical homework to try between meetings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can help when avoidance or fear limits daily life and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heidi will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first, then adjust based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to what you need.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skill teaching, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving routines more easily.
