About Heidi

Heidi Whyte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related issues. Sessions address everyday problems like sleep, eating, parenting strain, career stress, and intimacy concerns.

Heidi uses practical, evidence-informed methods in conversation and problem solving. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she listens, helps name patterns, and practices skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her background includes clinical social work practice across a range of mental health concerns. Heidi focuses on how early family roles and attachment experiences continue to shape adult relationships and self-image. She supports people who want to understand those roots and change repeating patterns.

Therapy sessions include collaborative planning and skill practice. Heidi pays attention to coping skills, emotion regulation, and communication habits. She also works with specific concerns such as grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness effects, body image, and addiction-related problems.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment. International clients are not accepted; services are provided in English to people in Montana.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions toward those values to reduce the hold of unhelpful thought patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people recognize repeated roles learned in childhood and try new interaction patterns in relationships and self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques over time based on what helps the person make changes.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins between appointments, or choosing sessions that don't require video when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while they practice new skills and change patterns.
