About Orlee
Orlee Tugend-Raymond is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship, family, parenting, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and related concerns. She speaks English and Hebrew and can support clients who want a therapist with a Jewish background.
Orlee often helps people who are joining or reshaping a household. She talks through blended family issues, co-parenting tensions, and loyalty conflicts in clear, practical terms. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try at home, not on long lectures or labels.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally-focused work alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That mix is used to identify patterns, practice new ways of responding, and set manageable goals. She may suggest short exercises between sessions to test small changes and build momentum.
Orlee’s style is interactive. She listens, asks direct questions, and helps people name what they need. She also works with issues such as caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, intimacy-related problems, and career-related strain.
Clients who prefer Hebrew can speak with her in that language. She does not take international clients. To begin, people complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform.
How her approaches translate to online work
Orlee uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and everyday relationship problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people name and shift emotional responses that create distance.She combines these approaches with mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and build new routines. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most useful to the client.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing scheduling flexibility. Some formats are simpler for quick check-ins while others allow longer conversations or working on emotion-focused exercises, so plan the session style that fits your day and goals.
