About Heidi
Heidi McCarty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Heidi also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, commitment and control struggles, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Her sessions use a mix of practical talking and evidence-informed methods. Heidi draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She mentions Gottman Method work as well for relationship patterns.
In conversation she listens for what feels most pressing and then tries straightforward steps clients can use between sessions. That might mean noticing automatic thoughts, practicing new ways to relate, or trying skills to reduce anxiety. EMDR is noted as an approach she uses for processing trauma and related memories.
She encourages small, manageable changes rather than big overhauls all at once. Sessions include direct reflection, skill practice, and setting achievable goals. Heidi aims to help people move toward clearer priorities and steadier mood over time.
She works in English and practices in Wyoming. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online options.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Heidi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT often focuses on building small, meaningful steps rather than forcing immediate change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that can reduce anxiety and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is described by her as a method she uses for processing traumatic memories and the emotions that come with them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heidi treats the choice of method as collaborative - she listens to goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try. Many people shift between approaches as needs change, and that flexible plan is something she helps set up together with each person.
The practical side of online therapy should fit everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to schedule around classes or jobs, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions fit into a busy week. Licensed professionals can guide pacing, assign short between-session tasks, and adapt exercises for a virtual setting so the work continues between meetings.
