About Heather
Heather Hundtoft is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family tension, anger, and low self-esteem. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. Heather aims to make early conversations feel manageable and practical so parents and caregivers can consider next steps without feeling overwhelmed.
Her work focuses on improving relationships and communication patterns inside families. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, codependency, and body image or eating-related concerns.
Background and approach
Heather has experience addressing substance use and the challenges that come with recovery and relapse risk. She uses evidence-based techniques and adapts them to fit a person’s situation and values. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and real-world strategies that translate to daily life.
Heather aims for an approach that feels collaborative rather than prescriptive. Heather has seven years of clinical practice and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She practices in Montana and conducts sessions in English.
Her background includes work with family-of-origin patterns, domestic violence recovery, fertility-related stress, and caregiver burden. Conversations with Heather often begin with what feels most urgent, followed by practical steps to reduce stress and improve coping. She frames progress as a series of small, concrete changes rather than a single dramatic fix.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting concerns
Heather uses evidence-based techniques that focus on skills people can use at home. One common approach emphasizes measurable coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to test what works. Another approach addresses patterns in relationships and communication, helping people notice recurring interactions and try different responses to reduce conflict.Finding the right fit is part of the process. Heather works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person’s goals and daily reality. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan so techniques are realistic for family life and caregiving schedules.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow sessions to happen around busy days, childcare, or work demands. The range of formats also makes it easier to revisit short skills between sessions and keep momentum when life gets busy.
