Heather Raymo, LCSW

Heather Raymo is an LCSW with 29 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, addiction struggles, or major life changes. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Heather draws on many settings from her career, including independent practice, hospital care, hospice, home health, chronic pain work, and adoption services. That variety shaped her ability to support people facing depression, trauma, caregiver stress, and adjustment after losses. She balances intuition and empathy with a logical approach to setting goals and tracking progress.

Her training includes a Bachelor and Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington, along with studies in biology and psychophysiology. Heather blends person-centered methods with cognitive behavioral ideas, solution-focused work, and rational emotive techniques to meet people where they are. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and hypnotherapy in her toolkit.

Heather has lived in Colorado for over 20 years and often brings plain, everyday language into sessions. She enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, boating, gardening, and reading in her spare time. That practical, down-to-earth outlook often informs how she helps people manage daily stresses and build routines that fit their lives.

If someone is ready to start, Heather can walk them through the first steps and work together to set achievable goals. Her style is collaborative and focused on helping each person handle the immediate problems while building long-term skills.

How Heather’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and mood. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in to see what helps most for daily life and for specific problems like grief or relationship worries.
