Heather Raymo , LCSW

Heather Raymo is an LCSW with 29 years of clinical experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She focuses on women's issues among a wide range of concerns and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for those feeling overwhelmed. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth while staying goal-oriented and clear about next steps.

She has worked in many settings over her career, including private practice, hospital care, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services. That variety gave her hands-on experience with depression, caregiver strain, adjustment after loss, and trauma. Heather combines practical problem-solving with attention to emotions and personal meaning.

Heather trained at the University of Texas at Arlington, where she completed both a Bachelor and Master of Social Work. She also studied biology and psychophysiology, which informs her interest in how the body and mind interact. She brings both logic and intuition to sessions and helps clients set realistic goals.

In the room she prefers a collaborative style. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive and solution-focused tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques when they fit the client’s goals.

Outside work she has lived in Colorado for more than 20 years and enjoys hiking, camping, gardening, and time with animals. She welcomes people who are ready to talk through challenges and make practical changes in their lives.

How Heather’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small steps toward a life they care about. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or stuck patterns get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that repeat in relationships and self-view, which can be useful for intimacy, attachment, and grief issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Heather works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging is helpful for quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, travel, and the outdoor life many Coloradans lead.
