About Amy

Amy Romero is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in New Mexico who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions. She works with LGBT concerns and supports people facing panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood challenges. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at people who want practical help.

She brings several years of direct clinical work, including outpatient therapy, intensive in-home services for at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling.

Background and approach

Amy has experience supporting teens and adults and does not see children under 14. Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work focused on children and families. In sessions she keeps things interactive and respectful.

Amy creates space for honest conversation and helps clients set clear, manageable goals. She combines talking, practical strategies, and homework-style practice when that fits the client’s needs. Amy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build healthier habits.

She integrates mindfulness techniques to reduce worry and to help with emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change behaviors like substance use, so they can find their own motivation and next steps. People can expect straightforward collaboration and regular check-ins about progress.

Amy responds frequently during the day and schedules live sessions in advance. Her approach aims to help clients make steady, realistic changes that match their life circumstances.

How Amy Uses Practical Approaches Online

Amy often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors through small, doable exercises. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce worry and improve emotional balance. Motivational Interviewing is also used to help people clarify their reasons for change and plan the next steps when dealing with addictions or habit shifts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amy works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That collaboration means the plan can change over time based on what helps most and what feels manageable for the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video lets people connect face to face for deeper conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break in a busy day. Live chat or messaging is useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options let people keep continuity of care without traveling to an office, making it simpler to attend regular sessions and follow through on agreed steps.
