About Orlee
Orlee Tugend-Raymond is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger and career strain. She offers therapy in English and Hebrew and can support Jewish clients seeking a therapist who shares that cultural background.
Orlee uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as one of her main approaches to help people notice and name the emotions that shape relationship patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are available when a client prefers brief, skills-based work.
Her practice covers a wide list of related concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, body image, and commitment or communication problems. She works with people who identify as LGBT and those coping with aging or autism-related issues when it relates to family or caregiving contexts.
Sessions emphasize clear listening and practical steps rather than labels. Orlee aims to help clients name feelings, shift interaction patterns, and try new ways of communicating. She and the client build a plan together that fits each person’s goals and situation.

How Orlee uses EFT, CBT and mindfulness in online sessions
Orlee lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as a central approach. EFT focuses on identifying core emotions and the interaction patterns they create in relationships. It is often used when attachment, closeness or recurring conflict are the main concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, anger and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the goals and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made, combining EFT, CBT or mindfulness techniques as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to arrange appointments around caregiving or work. The therapist and client will agree on logistics and a schedule that matches practical needs.
