About Heidi
Heidi McCarty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Heidi also focuses on life purpose questions and related issues like attachment, commitment, and isolation.
She uses several approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These methods show up as practical steps in sessions, such as noticing difficult thoughts, practicing new communication patterns, and processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
In sessions she encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings. Conversations tend to focus on identifying what is getting in the way now and on small, doable steps forward. When trauma is a central issue, she can use EMDR as part of the work.
Heidi aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them and to find ways of moving forward after change or loss. Her work often includes looking at patterns in relationships, addressing control or perfectionism, and building clearer communication skills. She also supports people who are coping with mood changes, obsessive thoughts, or identity questions.
People find the first session is mainly about mapping concerns and setting practical goals. Follow-up sessions focus on skill practice, checking progress, and adjusting plans so the work fits everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that align with personal values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their current emotional impact when trauma is a presenting concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. Adjustments happen over time based on what helps most for the client's situation.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows the therapist to use EMDR over telehealth when that approach is appropriate. Practical details like scheduling, subscription billing, and how to prepare for a session should be confirmed during the sign-up process.
