About Orlee
Orlee Tugend-Raymond is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, interactive style and listens closely to each person's story. She speaks English and Hebrew and can support people seeking conversations informed by Jewish cultural experience.
Her approach blends practical, problem-focused work with attention to emotions and present-moment awareness. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses emotionally focused ideas to help people notice and name feelings that get in the way of connection. Orlee commonly helps with parenting concerns and family dynamics. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver strain, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and major life changes.
She also addresses issues such as blended family challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and body image or eating concerns. Sessions can include short-term, solution-focused work when someone wants practical strategies fast. They can also include longer conversations that dig into family of origin issues, commitment worries, forgiveness, and patterns that repeat across relationships.
The plan is always shaped around the person's goals and day-to-day life. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to the listed process.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Orlee uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for worries, stress, low mood, and problem-solving around parenting challenges.She also draws on emotionally focused ideas to help people identify and name emotions that affect their relationships. EFT-style work supports clearer communication and helps people understand patterns that cause disconnection within families or partnerships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Orlee collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean short solution-focused cycles for a specific problem or a slower exploration of family patterns over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text sessions work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking.
These options allow scheduling across busy days and support ongoing work while juggling parenting, caregiving, or work commitments.
