About Heather
Heather Raymo is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life changes using a calm, down-to-earth style. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Heather draws on long experience across settings including private practice, hospital care, hospice, home health, chronic pain services, and adoption work. That range gives her familiarity with depression, caregiver strain, adjustment issues, and complicated loss. She uses clear, practical guidance while listening for what matters most to each person.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington, plus study in biology and psychophysiology. Heather combines that background with nearly 29 years of clinical experience to help clients set realistic goals and track progress.
In sessions she blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance-oriented practices, and solution-focused techniques. Mindfulness practices are part of her approach when they match someone’s needs and preferences. She aims to be both compassionate and straightforward when helping people make changes.
Heather lives in Colorado and spends free time outdoors hiking, camping, swimming, and gardening. She values curiosity and reading, and she brings that same interest to learning about each person’s story and next steps.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Heather commonly uses Mindfulness Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered Therapy in her practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to help calm the mind and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and stress. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people live by what matters even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy so people feel understood and can explore their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it easier to continue work through life transitions by keeping appointments consistent. Licensed professionals will help match the format and pace to each person’s needs so sessions feel practical and usable.
