About Heidi
Heidi McCarty is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with clients to build practical steps toward feeling more stable and hopeful. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on clear, doable changes rather than jargon.
Heidi draws on several therapy methods to meet each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going and to practice new skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her approach for relationship-related concerns and improving emotional connection. In sessions clients can expect a calm, listening presence and concrete tools to try between meetings.
Heidi emphasizes small steps that fit daily life and aims to make therapy understandable and practical. She invites clients to set goals and track progress together. Heidi is licensed in Wyoming as an LPC and has three years of professional experience.
She offers several online formats so people can choose what works best for them. Sessions are offered in English. People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire to get started.
From there they can schedule sessions that fit their rhythm and needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction when life feels off course. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to change mood and reactions. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and obsessive thoughts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy works on improving emotional bonds and communication, which can be helpful when relationships feel strained or disconnected.Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Sessions are collaborative - choices about methods are made together and revisited as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits many routines. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options allow people to fit therapy into work breaks, family schedules, or when leaving home is difficult, and make it straightforward to try different formats until the right fit is found.
