About Heather

Heather Raymo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Colorado with nearly three decades of experience. She welcomes people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, trauma, relationship or intimacy concerns, and struggles with sleep, eating, or addiction. Her style is warm and direct.

She listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals so progress feels manageable. She blends practical talk therapy with skills training. Sessions often include gentle exploration of painful memories and step-by-step work on habits that get in the way of daily life.

Background and approach

Heather uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment techniques to help people live by their values even when emotions are hard. Her training includes a Bachelor’s and Master’s in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington, and she holds Colorado LCSW 00992223.

Over the years she has worked in independent practice, hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services. That variety informs how she approaches complex, overlapping problems. Heather describes herself as intuitive and caring while staying logical and goal-focused in sessions.

She enjoys being outdoors and brings a calm, steady presence to her work. Many clients find the combination of support and practical direction helpful when life feels confusing or heavy. For people looking for steady, experienced guidance, Heather offers a straightforward, compassionate approach that focuses on short-term gains and long-term coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or painful emotions make daily life feel smaller. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors that lead to distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many habit patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit your situation. Together you can try an approach, see how it feels, and adjust as needed to make steady progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work while traveling, or get support from home. Many find this mix of formats helps maintain momentum between sessions and makes it easier to use skills in real-life moments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
