About Heather
Heather Raymo is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage strong feelings and stressful life changes. She brings nearly three decades of practice to sessions and aims to make therapy down-to-earth and practical. Many clients look to her for help with anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns.
She uses clear, straightforward tools rather than jargon. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill building, and chance to talk things through so emotions feel less overwhelming.
Background and approach
Heather matches techniques to what each person needs instead of using the same plan for everyone. Heather earned bachelor and master degrees in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington and has a background in biology and psychophysiology. Her work history spans independent practice, hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain programs, and adoption services.
That variety shaped a practical, flexible style of helping people cope with complex problems. In therapy she blends client-centered listening with structured methods such as cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance-based strategies, emotionally focused work, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. The approach is collaborative: she listens first, then sets simple goals and practices between sessions.
Outside of work she has lived in Colorado for more than 20 years and enjoys hiking, camping, boating, gardening, and reading. She aims to create a calm, steady space where people can regain footing and move forward from whatever is holding them back.

Online approaches that make emotions manageable
Heather commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values; it helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments or new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve mood and relationships.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to concerns, try out methods together, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients often combine acceptance skills, practical behavior changes, and emotionally focused conversation to get traction on long-standing patterns.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and make follow-up easier while keeping the focus on progress rather than logistics.
