About Heather
Heather Hundtoft is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with seven years of experience.

She also addresses codependency and related concerns such as communication problems and caregiving stress.
Heather uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques and focuses on concrete skills people can use between sessions.

Sessions include talking through specific situations, trying different approaches in real time, and checking what actually works.
She supports people dealing with body image and eating-related issues, fertility worries, and the emotional fallout of family-of-origin problems. Heather also works with those affected by domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and intense guilt or shame. Her practice includes attention to impulse control and anger management when those are part of the problem.
Heather is experienced in supporting LGBTQ+ clients and aims to be inclusive in how she talks about identity and relationships. She helps people who feel empty or stuck to notice small, practical changes that shift daily life.

How sessions work
How Heather uses evidence-based methods online
Heather’s work draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on behavior change and skill building. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses, which can ease anxiety and change repetitive people-pleasing patterns.She also uses skills-based strategies for emotion regulation and communication. These approaches teach specific tools for managing anger, reducing impulsive reactions, and practicing clearer boundaries in real-life interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each client to choose methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan remains useful and realistic.
