Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Maryellen Romero often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current emotional needs and interpersonal dynamics. This approach helps individuals understand how attachment styles influence reactions to stress, closeness, and conflict, and is useful for relationship concerns, codependency, and feelings of isolation.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. CBT offers practical tools for changing routines, managing symptoms, and building coping skills that support daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Dr. Romero collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from home, and access therapeutic support when in-person visits are not possible.
