About Amy

LCSW in New Mexico with four years of clinical experience, Amy Romero helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Amy holds a Master of Social Work and practices using several evidence-based approaches to support mood and behavior concerns. She offers therapy in English and works with teens age 14 and older and adults.

Amy’s work has included outpatient therapy, intensive in-home services for at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling. She has provided individual and group treatment for teens and adults and has experience in child welfare settings. That background influences how she balances symptom-focused work with attention to life context and relationships.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools. Motivational interviewing appears in work around substance use and other behavior change. Narrative approaches and psychodynamic ideas are also part of how she helps people make sense of their experiences.

Amy commonly addresses problems such as body image, communication problems, control issues, DMDD, eating and food-related issues, family problems, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, and other mood disorders. She does not see children under 14 and does not accept international clients.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; cost varies with location. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the platform's appointment tools. Amy aims to collaborate with each person to choose practical steps that fit their goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and clarifying a person’s goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps prioritize next steps. It is useful for building trust and setting goals for stress, identity questions, and family conflict.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT usually involves structured conversations, short exercises to try between sessions, and checking how strategies affect symptoms like anxiety or panic. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation during stress or substance cravings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made.

The biography indicates she has practiced online and in person, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and avoid travel time. If you need to organize sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities, note those constraints when you schedule so the therapist can plan sessions that fit your routine.
