About Amy
Amy Romero is an independently licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and LGBTQ-related concerns. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She works with teens and adults and does not see children under 14. Amy draws on experience from outpatient therapy, intensive in-home services, and substance abuse counseling. She has provided both group and individual work with teens and adults, and she uses methods that fit each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work focused on children and families. Sessions tend to be warm and interactive. Amy aims to create a respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
She listens for strengths, patterns, and what gets in the way, then helps clients set small, practical goals they can use between sessions. Therapy often includes skill-building for anxiety and mood problems, strategies for coping with cravings and substance use, and work on identity and body image concerns. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and family stress.
Treatment plans are collaborative and change as goals evolve. Amy has four years of professional experience as an LCSW. She provides services in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, empathic relationship where the client’s goals lead the work; this helps people who need understanding and a nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and lessen reactivity during cravings or overwhelming emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try approaches together to see what fits best. This is a collaborative effort and plans are adjusted based on what helps most.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for a full face-to-face feel, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can support brief check-ins or ongoing encouragement, and messaging lets people share between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue support when in-person visits aren’t practical.
