Heather Raymo, LCSW

Heather Raymo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. She has worked across a range of care settings including private practice, hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services, and she has served on multiple boards related to her field. Her training includes a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington, along with additional study in biology and psychophysiology, which inform her thoughtful, body-aware approach to care.

Heather brings an eclectic, integrative style to therapy, blending client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and rational emotive methods to help clients set practical goals and build new skills. She has long worked with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, loneliness, adjustment challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and many other life stressors. As a teenager she gained early experience in a therapeutic horsemanship program, an influence that shaped her lifelong commitment to helping others.

People generally describe her as intuitive, supportive, insightful, caring, and kind, balanced by a clear, logical approach to assessment and goal-setting. Based in Colorado for more than two decades, she enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, boating, gardening, travel, animals, and reading. Heather welcomes the decision to seek help and looks forward to learning who someone is and supporting them through whatever circumstances they bring.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Heather uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and learn flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings - this approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients are listened to and supported as they explore their own solutions and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her work, focusing on practical strategies to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heather collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they will test approaches, adjust plans, and track progress so therapy feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy with licensed professionals like Heather makes it easier to attend sessions without travel, to fit care into a busy schedule, and to access support from home or work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to engage in therapy while maintaining continuity of care and adapting to each person’s needs.
