About Heather
Heather Raymo is a Colorado LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) with 29 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Heather also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, addiction, ADHD, and career-related stress.
She has worked in a variety of settings including private practice, hospital, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services. That range informs a practical approach that combines observation with clear goals. Sessions typically focus on identifying what matters to the person and building steps that fit daily life.
Her methods draw from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and hypnotherapy. Heather describes her style as both logical and intuitive, using tools to help people name feelings and shift unhelpful patterns.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and repeated check-ins about progress. She uses straightforward language and concentrates on skills that can be used between sessions. Heather’s background in biology and psychophysiology also informs how she addresses stress and chronic health issues.
Outside of clinical work she spends time outdoors in Colorado hiking, camping, swimming, and gardening. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s process to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional patterns that affect relationships and daily life. EFT focuses on feelings and how they shape interactions and personal responses, which can be useful for intimacy and recurring relational issues.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward chosen values. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and adjustment to life changes.
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own experience and priorities, using active listening and reflection to help clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds concrete skill work to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns when needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying a few techniques and checking in about what helps most.
Session logistics and formats are not detailed on the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also allow people to work without being on camera or to choose a quieter setup with less bandwidth, depending on what works best for day-to-day life.
