About Heidi
Heidi Whyte is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life transitions. She aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable so people can start making changes that matter. Heidi uses clear, direct work and gentle encouragement to help clients move toward better routines and coping skills.
She brings seven years of clinical experience in Montana and has helped people recover from trauma and manage ongoing stressors.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, with attention to immediate concerns like sleep, eating, substance use, and emotional regulation. Heidi also supports clients dealing with identity concerns, career strain, caregiving stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Her practice draws on several approaches to match what each person needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. The Gottman Method is also part of her toolkit and may be used when relationship skills are a focus. Heidi describes her style as compassionate and respectful.
She works collaboratively to set goals and adapt methods so progress is practical and measurable. Sessions may include skills practice, problem-solving, and step-by-step plans for coping between meetings. Therapy is offered in several online formats to fit different lifestyles.
Heidi wants to help people find manageable ways to reduce distress and build routines that support long-term wellbeing.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Heidi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits with practical exercises between sessions. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand patterns that come from early relationships and how those patterns show up now in trust and closeness issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heidi will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions to fit those needs. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adjust plans based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy lets people meet in ways that fit their day. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or hands-free check-ins are needed, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins, short coaching, or moment-to-moment support. These options make it easier to keep up with therapy while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
