About Heather
Heather Raymo is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Colorado with 29 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and life changes. She works with individuals facing addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar conditions.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on setting clear goals, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and testing new behaviors between meetings.
Raymo draws on experience from hospital, hospice, home health, chronic pain, adoption, and private practice settings. That background informs work with caregiver stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, and bereavement. She also addresses codependency, body image, commitment and control issues, dissociation, and adjustment after disasters.
Expect conversations that balance practical problem-solving with attention to feelings. She combines logical, goal-focused planning with attention to what matters to each person. Hypnotherapy and emotionally-focused ideas are available when useful alongside CBT and ACT.
Outside work she has a long interest in therapeutic horsemanship and enjoys hiking, camping, boating, gardening, and reading. To begin, people follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In practice this means learning simple methods to break patterns that keep problems going and assigning short exercises to try between sessions, which can be reviewed online. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) helps people clarify values and commit to small, value-based actions while learning to accept difficult feelings rather than fight them. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions and goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on current needs, goals, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. That plan can shift as progress is made or challenges change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and session length so meetings fit the client's routine and goals.
