Heather Raymo is an LCSW with nearly three decades of clinical work. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. Her manner is warm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps to make everyday life more manageable.
She brings experience from hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, adoption services, and independent practice. That range informs how she approaches grief, caregiver strain, trauma and long-term health issues. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while honoring each person’s story.
Heather uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person in front of her. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral tools, emotionally-focused work, and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate. Conversations include building skills, clarifying values, and practicing new ways of responding to hard thoughts and feelings.
She trained at the University of Texas at Arlington and holds a master’s degree in social work. Heather has additional study in biology and psychophysiology, which shapes how she thinks about stress, pain, and body-related concerns.
Outside clinical work she has lived in Colorado for more than 20 years and enjoys hiking, camping, gardening, and time with animals. She welcomes the chance to learn about each person’s priorities and to help them move toward clearer choices and steadier days.
How Heather's Approaches Work Online
Heather often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, using reflective listening to clarify what matters most.
She may also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and improving sleep or daily routines. These approaches are described and adjusted together so therapy fits each person’s needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with a person about their goals, try methods that make sense, and adjust as progress is reviewed. The aim is to land on ways of working that feel useful and realistic.
