About Heather
Heather Raymo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly three decades of experience. She helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at making day-to-day coping feel more manageable.
Heather draws on work across hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain care, adoption services, and private practice. That range shapes how she supports people through loss, caregiver stress, chronic illness, trauma, and adjustment challenges. She combines listening with clear goal-setting to help clients move forward.
In sessions Heather uses a mix of client-centered methods and structured tools. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and hypnotherapy elements to match each person’s needs. Conversations may include practical coping skills, values-based goal work, and strategies to change unhelpful thinking.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s and Master’s in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington, along with study in biology and psychophysiology. Those training areas inform a thoughtful, down-to-earth style that balances intuition with clinical reasoning.
Outside of practice she has lived in Colorado for more than 20 years and enjoys hiking, camping, gardening, and working with animals. Heather tends to work collaboratively, helping people create realistic plans for change while honoring what matters most to them.

How Heather’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, concrete steps toward them while accepting difficult feelings. It can be helpful for grief, chronic illness, anxiety, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the person find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those goals. She adjusts tools over time so sessions stay useful and relevant to everyday life.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises and homework to everyday routines so progress continues between meetings.
