Orlee Tugend-Raymond

Orlee Tugend-Raymond is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, interactive style and clear listening to sessions. She speaks English and fluent Hebrew and can offer conversation in either language.

Orlee focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. She also helps people facing grief, self-esteem struggles, intimacy issues, eating and anger problems, and career or life changes. Additional areas include adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiver strain, body image, and forgiveness and shame work.

Her approach blends Mindfulness Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, plus solution-focused methods for shorter-term work. In practice she uses simple exercises, conversational reflection, and problem-focused steps chosen to match each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clearer communication rather than labels.

Orlee draws on years of experience working with family-related concerns and parenting challenges. She aims to create an atmosphere of respect and sensitivity. Her goal is to help people feel heard and to move toward the changes they want.

If someone is ready to begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. The therapist tailors plans to real-life schedules and goals rather than one-size-fits-all programs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Orlee uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment, which can reduce reactivity and support calmer responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to shift mood and functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding feelings and improving emotional connection in relationships, often through guided conversation and focused reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That plan can change over time as needs shift, and she involves the client in shaping the process.

Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that are simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. It can also allow sessions without being on camera when less bandwidth or a shorter check-in is preferred. Talk with the therapist about which format will best fit daily life and goals.
