About Amy
Amy Romero is an LCSW based in New Mexico who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. She offers down-to-earth support for common concerns such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, mood swings, and struggles with substance use. Amy aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through difficult moments.
She draws on several practical approaches in sessions, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to identify unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and reduce intense emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions may also include motivational interviewing to support changes around substance use and other behaviors. Amy has four years of clinical experience providing outpatient therapy, intensive in-home care for at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling.
She completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work with a focus on children and families, and she holds a New Mexico LCSW credential. Her style is warm and interactive. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjust approaches as needs change.
People can expect practical tools, chance to reflect on personal stories, and guidance toward clearer routines and healthier choices. Amy sees teenagers 14 and older as well as adults. She works with clients online and in person, and she responds to messages throughout the day when possible.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and goals, giving space to be heard and understood while shaping treatment around what matters to them. This approach helps with issues like low mood, identity concerns, and life direction by centering the client’s experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple steps and exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, panic, obsessions, and mood problems.
Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept up by them. It is often paired with other techniques to reduce stress, manage intense emotion, and increase focus on the present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or between-session support. These formats help make regular appointments easier to keep and allow care to fit into daily life.
