About Amy
Amy Romero is an LCSW - an independently licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico with four years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents over 14 on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. Her profile also lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses.

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 individual clients and with substance treatment groups for teens and adults.
Amy uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to focus on what the person brings, cognitive behavioral therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns, mindfulness techniques to manage stress, motivational interviewing for treatment engagement, and narrative therapy to reframe difficult stories. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical, with a focus on clear goals.
In practice she helps people talk through body image, communication problems, control issues, family problems, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, and mood concerns. She also has experience with DMDD, eating and food-related issues, and drug and alcohol addiction.
She does not see children under 14. Sessions are scheduled by selecting the online therapy options and completing the short matching questionnaire before booking an initial session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Amy uses therapeutic approaches online
Amy commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered approaches focus on the person’s concerns and priorities, helping conversations stay grounded in what matters to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful reactions and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help with stress and emotional regulation. Mindfulness practice involves small, present-moment strategies that can reduce overwhelm and improve attention to thoughts and feelings. These methods are often useful for people dealing with guilt, shame, or recurring anxious thoughts.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs and progress become clearer.
The biography records that she has worked both online and in person, but does not list specific online formats. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for quieter or shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, narrative work, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions.
