About Heather
Heather Raymo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward presence and focuses on clear goals that fit each person’s situation. Heather draws on many years of experience to make therapy practical and understandable for worried parents and adults.
Heather has nearly three decades in social work across hospitals, hospice care, home health, chronic pain programs, adoption services, and independent practice.
Background and approach
She has worked with depression, anxiety, caregiver strain, adjustment after loss, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. Her background also includes studies in biology and psychophysiology, which inform how she thinks about emotional and physical reactions. In sessions she combines client-centered care with cognitive tools and solution-focused strategies.
That means she listens first, then helps people try small, doable changes that build forward momentum. She also uses mindfulness and approaches that address emotions in relationships when that feels important. Heather values practical planning alongside emotional support.
She helps clients set clear, realistic goals and tracks progress over time. She aims to be both compassionate and direct, offering feedback that is thoughtful and action oriented. Based in Colorado, Heather enjoys outdoor life and brings that grounded perspective into her work.
She encourages clients to notice small shifts that add up, and to use coping skills that fit daily routines and family life.
How Heather’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life they care about. Online ACT work often includes exercises to notice thoughts and try values-based steps between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practice different responses. In remote sessions CBT uses structured conversations and worksheets that clients can use during the week to change habits and moods.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather listens to each person’s situation and goals, then suggests one or a blend of approaches. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions are useful for short check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between appointments and get timely support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
