Amanda Romero, LPC

Amanda Romero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with ten years of experience supporting adults, teens, and military-connected families through seasons of transition, healing, and identity development. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, attachment wounds, grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, career stress, trauma, and major life changes, and she is particularly committed to helping those affected by family trauma, emotional neglect, and the complexities of military life.

Amanda’s therapeutic style is warm, grounded, and deeply relational, offering a space where clients can show up fully - seen, valued, and not reduced to a label. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with humanistic, trauma-informed, and attachment-based practices to help individuals recognize patterns, build inner resilience, and pursue meaningful change. She works collaboratively with each person to design a treatment plan that respects their lived experience and personal goals.

Reaching out for support can take courage, and Amanda aims to walk alongside clients with practical tools, clear guidance, and compassionate support. She focuses on empowering people to feel more aligned, connected, and authentic in their lives and relationships, and she looks forward to partnering with those ready to take the next step toward healing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Amanda frequently uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practice alternatives that reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on attachment-based techniques that explore relational patterns and early bonds to support healthier communication and relationship satisfaction. In addition, Amanda integrates trauma-informed practices to recognize how past trauma affects current functioning and to pace interventions in a way that supports safety and gradual healing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Amanda works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent care while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor session length and frequency to what works best for the client.
