Heather Raymo , LCSW

Heather Raymo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings extensive experience across a wide range of care settings, including private practice, hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, loneliness, and life adjustments, and she applies a practical, compassionate approach to supporting those challenges.

Heather describes her style as both intuitive and supportive while remaining logical and goal-oriented when assessing situations and setting objectives. She values a collaborative relationship with each person she sees, blending client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients gain insight and develop workable strategies. Her training includes bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington, along with additional study in biology and psychophysiology.

Her professional path began early, including work at a therapeutic horsemanship program as a teenager, and has continued through varied roles and board service. After relocating to Colorado, she has spent many years enjoying the outdoors and balancing clinical work with hobbies like hiking, camping, swimming, boating, gardening, and reading. She welcomes the opportunity to learn who a person is and to support them through transitions and difficult times with kindness and practical guidance.

Client-Centered and Evidence-Based Care Online

Heather Raymo draws from client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person’s experience and goals guide the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and helping clients find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers structured tools that translate well to online sessions and homework between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach Heather may use; ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, making it useful for chronic pain, grief, and coping with major life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Heather is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home, work, or while traveling, and allow licensed professionals to tailor interventions so therapy remains practical and accessible.
