Amy Romero

Amy Romero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with four years of professional experience. She works with adults and teens 14 and older on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Amy also helps people dealing with life purpose questions and related struggles like isolation and guilt.

Amy’s background includes outpatient therapy, intensive in-home work with at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work with a concentration on children and families. That background informs practical supports for people coping with mood and substance-related challenges.

In sessions she uses a mix of conversational and skills-based work. Amy draws on client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and build readiness for change. She uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to address anxious thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and low mood.

She has experience running substance abuse treatment groups and individual counseling for teens and adults, and she does not see children under 14. Amy has worked with people facing obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, eating and food-related issues, and family communication problems.

People who feel stuck between jobs, uncertain about what matters next, or who want to reduce compulsive behaviors often find the practical focus of her sessions useful. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment to talk about current concerns and goals.

How Amy applies therapy approaches online

Amy commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a collaborative plan with the client, helping people name what matters and set priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and compulsive actions.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up in them. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, panic, and unwanted urges related to addiction or compulsions. Amy treats finding the right mix of approaches as a shared process and will work with clients to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level.

Session formats are not listed explicitly in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find that doing therapy remotely helps them keep momentum between appointments while fitting counseling into everyday life.
