Heather Raymo, LCSW

Heather Raymo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, life changes, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, caregiver strain, addiction, sleep and eating struggles, and issues related to aging and geriatric concerns.

Heather takes a straightforward, compassionate approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, realistic goals. Sessions often blend practical strategies with reflective conversation to make change feel doable. Heather aims to be both warm and objective while guiding each step.

Her background spans hospital, hospice, home health, chronic pain, adoption work, and private practice. That variety shapes how she approaches complex problems, especially when medical or caregiving needs are involved. She draws on her training in social work and earlier studies in biology and psychophysiology.

Therapeutic work commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Emotionally-Focused tools, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. These tools are mixed to match a person’s goals and situation rather than used rigidly.

Heather lives in Colorado and spends much of her free time outdoors hiking, camping, and gardening. She values practical solutions and genuine connection, and she welcomes the chance to learn about each person’s story and help them move forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel heard while they make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce symptoms and solve practical problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new needs emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone choose not to be on camera. Many people find remote sessions let them access licensed professionals while balancing caregiving, work, or medical appointments.
