About Heather
Heather Hundtoft offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, or low self-esteem. She meets each person where they are and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Heather is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in Montana and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, clearer communication, and healthier habits around substances and emotions.
Background and approach
She helps people untangle family patterns and work through shame, guilt, or codependent dynamics. Heather also addresses concerns about body image, eating and food-related issues, fertility questions, and workplace stress. She supports people recovering from domestic violence and those managing anger or impulse control challenges.
Her work includes helping people clarify values and build self-compassion. She aims to create an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and anyone seeking acceptance. Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, but paced by each person’s tolerance for change.
Heather partners with clients to set realistic steps and then reviews progress together. Over time, her approach helps people strengthen relationships, reduce anxiety, and feel more confident in daily decisions. She balances empathy with clear, manageable strategies so change feels achievable rather than overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Heather uses evidence-based methods that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-checking techniques to reduce daily overwhelm. Another approach centers on addressing addictive behaviors and codependency by identifying triggers, building healthier routines, and developing relapse prevention plans that fit each person’s life.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Heather works with clients to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what helps most. She values client feedback and changes direction when something isn’t working, so the work stays relevant to personal needs and values.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone calls reduce bandwidth needs and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
