About Heidi
Heidi Whyte is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and other life disruptions. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for everyday problems like sleep troubles, parenting strain, work stress, and relationship tension. Her tone is practical and respectful, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady guidance.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape behavior in close relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns, make values-based decisions, and change unhelpful thoughts and actions.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to what each person needs in the moment. Heidi works from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective. That means she pays attention to past hurts and current stressors while helping people identify what still works for them.
She uses client-centered listening to create space for people to tell their story at their own pace. Over seven years as an LCSW, Heidi has supported people dealing with addiction, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and complex losses. She also assists with more specific concerns such as body image, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach balances practical skills with attention to emotional experience. Heidi practices in Montana and offers sessions in English. She helps people make realistic plans, practice new skills between meetings, and track small, steady progress toward their goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in close relationships and on how feelings shape reactions. Online EFT helps people notice emotional patterns, name primary feelings, and try new ways of connecting or responding to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and to act toward personal values. In online ACT sessions people learn brief exercises to reduce avoidance and build a life that matters to them.Choosing the right approach is part of treatment. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most useful based on your goals, history, and how you respond in early sessions. That mix can change over time as needs shift and progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer, interactive work and body language cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and messaging let people reflect in writing, use brief skill practice between sessions, and keep momentum on busy days.
