About Heather
Heather Raymo is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience. She supports people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Heather speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is hardest right now for each person.
She brings practical tools into sessions so clients can try small changes right away. Heather blends client-centered conversation with cognitive-behavioral ideas and acceptance-focused practices. She sometimes uses emotionally-focused strategies and hypnotherapy when those fit a person's goals.
Background and approach
Heather has worked in many settings including hospitals, hospice care, home health, chronic pain programs, adoption services, and independent practice. That range shaped how she sees real-life problems and the steps people can take to cope better day to day. Her background also includes studies in biology and psychophysiology, which inform how she explains stress and the body.
In sessions she is calm, direct, and goal-oriented while staying warm and encouraging. She helps people set clear, realistic steps and notices patterns that get in the way of progress. Heather encourages learning practical skills for sleep, eating, managing strong emotions, and building healthier relationships.
She lives in Colorado and values time outdoors hiking, gardening, and being with animals. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows a person's lead and helps them find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach happens together. Heather will talk with each person about goals, what feels most useful, and which methods fit their style. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and focused on practical change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when screen time is manageable. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in fits a schedule. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or a way to track progress without a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using approaches tailored to individual needs.
