Holding the credential AZ Psychologist PSY-005121, she is qualified to provide psychological assessment and evidence-informed treatment within her scope of practice in Arizona.

Her practice focuses on a range of concerns including coping with addictions, mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, family and relationship issues, grief, self-esteem, and major life transitions.

Attachment and CBT in Online Therapy

Dr. Maryellen Romero integrates attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online sessions to address emotional and relational patterns. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of connecting, helping clients improve intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation, which can be especially useful for attachment issues and family of origin concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change coping patterns related to stress, addiction, or depression.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Romero works with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which methods or combination of methods will best support progress. This ongoing collaboration allows adjustments to the treatment plan as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy with Dr. Romero offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from the client’s own location while preserving the same therapeutic focus and support found in traditional in-person care.
