About Amy
Amy Romero is an LCSW practicing in New Mexico who focuses on common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and LGBT-related issues.
Background and approach
With a background that includes outpatient therapy, intensive in-home services for at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling, she brings a range of clinical settings to her work. Romero’s training includes a master’s degree in social work with a concentration on children and families, and she has worked with individuals, children, teenagers, and families across multiple levels of care.
Her therapeutic approach blends evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with client-centered and narrative techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic perspectives. She describes her style as warm and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and collaboration to tailor treatment to each person’s goals.
She sees teenagers and adults but does not accept children under age 14, and she provides both online and in-person therapy options. Romero aims to support clients in taking courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life while responding thoughtfully to messages and scheduling live sessions when needed.
Online approaches that blend evidence and collaboration
Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to explore concerns at their own pace while the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns; it is practical and goal-oriented, often including skill practice between sessions. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so treatment fits the client rather than forcing a single modality. This partnership helps tailor interventions whether someone needs structured CBT techniques, reflective client-centered work, or mindfulness practices.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can combine these formats with the chosen therapeutic approaches to support steady progress toward stated goals.
