About Shanene
Shanene Romero is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. Shanene offers faith-based options when clients want to include spiritual beliefs in therapy.
She uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. Conversations often include noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying small behavior changes. Mindfulness exercises and acceptance strategies are used to help manage difficult feelings in the moment.
Shanene also uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. That helps clarify goals and priorities before trying new coping strategies. She aims to make sessions practical and focused on concrete next steps.
Her background includes work in residential treatment settings, where she supported people coping with mood and impulse problems. That experience shaped a preference for clear structure and step-by-step planning when emotions feel overwhelming.
Typical sessions combine short skill practices, thought records or values-based exercises, and planning for real-life practice between meetings. Shanene encourages clients to notice what works, adjust as needed, and bring questions back to sessions for review.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shanene commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that are concrete and skills oriented. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes, which can be practiced between sessions to measure what helps. ACT emphasizes noticing values and choosing actions that align with those values even when emotions are strong, useful for mood and relationship concerns.She frames finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try skills to see what fits best. Adjustments are made together based on the client’s experience and preferences rather than assuming one method will suit every concern.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the currently offered options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. These practical benefits help people try out skills in their everyday context and bring real examples back to therapy for review.
