About Amy
Amy Romero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with four years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She works with teens 14 and older and adults. Sessions may include practical skills and focused talk therapy.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. She uses clear, structured techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas also appear when motivation or personal stories are central to the goal.
Her background includes outpatient therapy, intensive in-home work with at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling. She has experience running substance treatment groups and individual counseling for teens and adults. Her degrees include a bachelor's in psychology and a master of social work with a children and families concentration.
In sessions she aims to be interactive and practical. Expect a focus on specific problems like panic attacks, compulsions, body image, or substance use, and on learning steps you can practice between meetings. She does not see children under 14.
She offers online work alongside in-person services and generally responds to messages multiple times a day. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches work for online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then trying small, practical experiments to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, compulsions, and mood-related concerns.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people can clarify goals and make choices at their own pace. It is helpful when someone needs time to sort through feelings and decide what matters most to them.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These skills pair well with CBT when stress management or emotion regulation is a priority.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and real-life schedule. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises, homework, and tracking tools to work well in remote appointments.
