Shanene Romero

Shanene Romero is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about their thoughts and feelings and to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Shanene keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals. Many clients work on coping with panic or social anxiety, repairing communication patterns, or rebuilding self-love after a breakup or life change.

Her background includes three years of professional experience and work in a residential treatment setting. That experience shaped how she supports people through mood disorders and impulsivity with steady, clear guidance rather than jargon.

Shanene draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Mindfulness Therapy. She uses these approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and focus on values that matter to them.

She also offers faith-based therapy for people who want spiritual beliefs included in sessions. Sessions are offered in English and take place under her California LMFT credential. If you want a calm, direct approach that centers your goals, Shanene can help you begin that work.

Approaches that fit your life online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when hard feelings show up. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and purpose-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic attacks or persistent worry. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shanene will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try ideas, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and homework tools in their regular environment, which helps transfer new skills into everyday life.
