Heather Raymo, LCSW

Heather Raymo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Her style blends warmth and clear problem-solving so conversations feel safe and practical.

She uses straightforward talk therapy to pin down what matters most to each person. Heather mixes client-centered listening with cognitive strategies and emotion-focused work to help people notice thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and strengthen important relationships. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit a person’s needs.

Heather’s background includes work in hospitals, hospice care, home health, chronic pain clinics, adoption services, and private practice. That variety informs how she helps people cope with illness, caregiving stress, body image concerns, and chronic pain. She aims to meet people where they are and tailor steps that feel doable day to day.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools. People can expect a mix of listening, gentle reflection, and exercises that build skills for managing anxiety, sleep, eating, or relationship struggles. Heather also supports people working through abandonment issues, loss, and major life transitions.

Outside the office she has lived in Colorado for over 20 years and enjoys hiking, camping, gardening, and reading. She welcomes the chance to learn about each person’s story and to help them find steady, realistic ways to move forward.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It can help with sleep, mood, eating, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to build trust and clarify what a person wants from therapy; this approach supports people through grief, life transitions, and relationship strains.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She often blends approaches rather than using only one, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep continuity during illness or caregiving demands. Because the therapist did not specify session formats in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Once formats are confirmed, online care can simplify scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful for a busy day.
