About Heidi

Heidi McCarty is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Wyoming who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

With three years of clinical experience, she draws on a mix of evidence-based methods to support clients working through issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns, commitment and communication problems, and mood or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions and take steps toward meaningful change.

Heidi combines approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and EMDR to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and encouragement, helping clients identify practical strategies and new perspectives that align with their values and life goals.

She welcomes those who are ready to take the first step toward feeling more grounded, connected, and purposeful in their lives.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Heidi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and repetitive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses to help people clarify what matters to them and learn to live in line with those values while reducing the impact of painful thoughts and feelings. She also integrates client-centered principles, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while working toward their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heidi works collaboratively to determine what fits each person's needs and preferences. Together they explore which methods feel most useful, adjust strategies over time, and build a plan that balances short-term coping skills with longer-term change based on the client's goals.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular care from Wyoming without commuting, and they allow for a range of interaction styles from real-time conversation to written check-ins depending on what supports progress most effectively.
