About Heather
Heather Raymo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado with nearly three decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Heather aims to offer steady support and clear guidance while people work toward practical changes they can use day to day.
Heather draws from a range of approaches to match each person's needs. She mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based strategies. She also uses emotionally focused methods and hypnotherapy when appropriate, choosing techniques that fit the situation rather than sticking to a single model.
Her background includes work in private practice, hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services. That variety gives her experience with depression, caregiver stress, adjustment problems, dissociation, and concerns tied to chronic illness. She also lists codependency, abandonment, body image, and related relationship and intimacy issues among her focus areas.
Heather describes herself as both intuitive and logical. In sessions she balances empathy with goal-focused planning. She listens for what matters most, helps clarify priorities, and supports steps people can try between meetings to build momentum.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, boating, gardening, and reading. She has a foundation in biology and psychophysiology alongside social work degrees from the University of Texas at Arlington, and she brings that broad perspective to clinical decision making.
How Heather’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and then take actions that match their personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a safe space so people can clarify what matters and find their own solutions.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a shared process. Heather will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they can try ideas, adjust the focus, and pick techniques that fit the person’s pace and needs.
If you plan to pursue online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Heather’s biography does not list specific formats, so check which formats she is offering now. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow a quicker check-in during a work break or between errands. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they use structured exercises, breathing work, behavioral experiments, or reflective conversation that can be done without special equipment.
