Amy Romero

Amy Romero is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, substance concerns, trauma, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports those feeling isolated or lonely and addresses problems like body image, communication struggles, and addictive behaviors.

Amy brings four years of clinical experience to her work and draws on her background in social work and psychology. She has provided outpatient therapy, intensive in-home care for at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling. She has worked with individuals and teens and does not see children under 14.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and understood. She collaborates with each person to set goals and decide on practical next steps.

Amy uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. You may encounter client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and narrative work depending on what fits your goals. She aims to meet clients where they are and tailor the plan to their needs.

If you prefer online or in-person sessions, select scheduling options when you start. The site matching process and scheduling help you find times that work with your life. Amy responds regularly during the day but may take time when assisting other clients or handling professional responsibilities.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Amy commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practice. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person sets goals and the session follows their pace. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Mindfulness practice brings short, present-moment exercises to help manage stress and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Amy will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, comfort, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress or new priorities emerge.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. The scheduling system and matching questionnaire help fit therapy into everyday life, such as finding times that work around school, work, or caregiving. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid a commute. Amy aims to balance practical scheduling with therapeutic focus so sessions can match each person’s routine and goals.
