Heather Raymo, LCSW

Heather Raymo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nearly three decades of experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, life changes, or relationship and intimacy concerns. Heather takes a straightforward, compassionate approach and aims to help people find clearer direction and practical ways to cope.

Heather has worked in many settings including private practice, hospital, hospice, home health, chronic pain care, and adoption services. That range of experience shapes a flexible, down-to-earth style in sessions. She combines attention to feelings with practical steps so people leave with something they can use.

Her training includes a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington, plus study in biology and psychophysiology. Heather draws on those backgrounds when she looks at how stress and mood affect the body as well as thinking patterns.

In session she often blends client-centered listening with cognitive and solution-focused tools. She also uses elements of acceptance-based work, emotionally-focused techniques, and hypnotherapy when useful. The aim is to match methods to what each person needs in the moment.

Outside of work Heather has lived in Colorado for over 20 years and enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, boating, gardening, and reading. She describes therapy as a partnership where she helps people set goals and try practical steps toward feeling better.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful behavior rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and eating problems, and coping with stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions; this approach supports self-esteem, relationship work, and periods of life change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help. She adapts the plan over time so sessions match what is actually helping you accomplish your goals.

Specific online session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find therapy that fits into their weekly routine makes it easier to keep momentum. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on practical skills, processing emotions, and tracking progress in ways that slot into everyday life.
