About Heather

Heather Raymo is a Colorado LCSW with 29 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges like relationship strain, codependency, addictions, and life changes.

Heather works in straightforward, practical ways. She listens to what is happening now and asks about patterns that repeat. Sessions focus on setting clear goals, learning coping skills, and practicing small changes that make daily life easier. She uses conversational methods rather than jargon so clients can try new approaches between meetings.

Her background includes work in private practice, hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services. That variety shaped an adaptable style that draws on several methods. Heather blends person-centered listening with cognitive and behavioral tools to help people notice thoughts and shift unhelpful responses.

She studied social work at the University of Texas at Arlington, where she earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work. Earlier coursework in biology and psychophysiology informs how she looks at stress, sleep, and body-related symptoms.

Outside work she spends time outdoors in Colorado hiking, camping, and gardening. She also enjoys swimming, boating, travel, and reading. Heather encourages clients to bring practical life concerns to sessions and to test small changes between meetings.

How sessions work

How Heather Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses; it is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients can discover their own solutions and direction.

Heather treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with clients to weigh which methods feel useful and adjusts the plan as goals change. That means trying exercises, reviewing what helps, and shifting techniques over time rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit therapy into a workday, shorten travel time, and make it easier to attend during a busy week. Some formats also let clients check in without video when they need a brief conversation or less bandwidth. Heather aims to make sessions practical and manageable within everyday life.
