About Orlee
Orlee Tugend-Raymond is an LMFT - a licensed marriage and family therapist in California - with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions. She also offers support around career strain, self-esteem, eating and intimacy-related issues.
She uses straightforward, problem-solving methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in her approach alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness work, and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying different responses, and practicing small changes between meetings.
Her background includes long experience with blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric matters. She also lists work around abandonment, family of origin patterns, communication problems, and forgiveness. Those topics commonly show up with relationship and parenting struggles.
Orlee can work in English and Hebrew and notes a connection to Jewish clients who want spiritual or cultural context in therapy. She frames treatment in practical terms and offers shorter-term solution-focused work for people who prefer that style.
Her sessions aim to clarify goals and set concrete steps people can try. The therapist typically combines talk strategies, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices to address daily problems and relationship patterns. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site booking flow and complete the matching questionnaire.
How CBT, EFT and mindfulness translate to online sessions
Orlee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT work online can include setting practical tasks, reviewing how those tasks went, and adjusting strategies week to week.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to focus on attachment and patterns in close relationships. In online sessions EFT can guide conversations about hurt and connection, and help people practice new ways of responding to each other.
Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce automatic reactivity. Simple breathing and attention exercises can be taught and practiced during tele-sessions, then applied in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and may blend approaches as appropriate.
The site booking flow asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, support shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use exercises and homework without traveling to an office.
