About Heather
Heather Raymo is a Colorado-based clinical social worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and related life changes, including relationship and intimacy concerns and issues around parenting and caregiving.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Heather blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotionally-focused techniques and hypnotherapy depending on the situation. She listens for patterns, helps people name what’s happening, and then picks steps that feel doable.
Heather’s background includes work in private practice, hospitals, hospice, home health, chronic pain settings and adoption services. That range informs how she approaches persistent problems like chronic illness, caregiver stress, and complicated grief. She also brings knowledge from studies in biology and psychophysiology to understand how body and mind interact.
In a typical conversation she balances intuition with clear, objective goal-setting. Sessions often move between reflecting on feelings and trying practical skills to change unhelpful habits or reactions. She also draws on brief, solution-focused strategies when people need tangible coping tools quickly.
Outside work Heather has lived in Colorado for over 20 years and spends time hiking, camping, reading and caring for animals. She encourages people to notice small shifts over time and to try manageable steps toward feeling less overwhelmed.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful when guilt or shame keeps someone from living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments or new routines to reduce anxiety and low mood.Heather treats approach selection as collaborative. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that make sense for the problem at hand. If one technique isn’t helpful, she will adjust and try another path together rather than sticking to a single plan.
