About Orlee
Orlee Tugend-Raymond is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety and stress along with relationship and parenting concerns. Orlee speaks English and Hebrew and can offer culturally aware support for Jewish clients who request it.
Orlee uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens carefully and helps people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions often include exercises to shift thought patterns and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety and improve communication.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work with relationship and family dynamics, caregiver strain, blended family issues, and life transitions. That experience informs how she helps people handle grief, loss, career stress, and changes tied to adoption or aging relatives. Orlee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to improve connection and intimacy. Solution-Focused and Mindfulness techniques are offered for shorter-term goals and daily coping skills. People who come to Orlee typically leave with concrete tools they can use between sessions.
She keeps sessions respectful and nonjudgmental and tailors plans to each person’s goals. To start, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
How Orlee’s approaches translate to online care
Orlee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotional responses and improving connection in relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Orlee will discuss goals and preferences and then choose or blend methods with the client. This is collaborative - she adjusts techniques based on what is helpful and practical for each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and full conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief processing, and between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between visits.
