About Autumn
Autumn Altamirano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 10 years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting and family concerns, relationship problems, grief, and ADHD. Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented.
Autumn begins by listening to what matters most to each person. She uses client-centered work to let clients set the goals and pace. From there she pulls in practical techniques that fit the problem and the person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the main methods she uses. That means helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing those thoughts against evidence, and trying new behaviors. She also uses mindfulness strategies to help with stress and emotional regulation.
Attachment-based ideas guide work around family patterns and relationship issues. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding the drive to make a change. Autumn may combine these approaches depending on the issue and the persons goals.
Her background includes practice in outpatient, private practice, and school-based settings. Autumn has a bachelors degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and brings ten years of experience to each session.
How Autumn integrates common approaches in online work
Autumn commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based approaches when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Attachment-based therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current family and couple interactions, which is useful for communication and family conflict.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client's goals and pace. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; Autumn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs and preferences.
