About Amy
Amy Romero is an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico with four years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Amy also focuses on body image, communication problems, control issues, and life purpose concerns among others.
She has provided direct mental health care, outpatient therapy, intensive in-home services for at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling. Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work with a concentration on children and families. She has worked with teenagers and adults and does not see children under 14.
Amy’s sessions are interactive and client-centered. She uses a mix of methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and psychodynamic ideas. In practical terms that means talking through current problems, trying new coping strategies, and looking at stories people tell about themselves.
She has experience running substance abuse treatment groups and individual substance counseling for teens and adults, plus trauma-informed care and work connected to child welfare. Her approach emphasizes collaboration - she and the client decide what to try and adjust as goals change.
People meet with Amy when they feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health, or when they want clearer priorities and better everyday coping. She checks messages several times a day and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Amy Uses Client-Centered Work, CBT, and Mindfulness Online
Amy uses client-centered therapy to focus conversations on what matters most to the person she is working with. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting what the client says, and using the client’s priorities to guide each session.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps when anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, or unhelpful behavior patterns are getting in the way of daily life. Mindfulness techniques are offered as brief practices to reduce stress and to improve attention to the present moment without judgment.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Plans are adjusted as needs change rather than fixed in advance.
