About Adrian
Adrian Romo is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of clinical experience. He focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful for every person who reaches out.
Adrian uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each client. He tailors sessions to the situation, listening first and adjusting methods as needed.
Background and approach
His style emphasizes compassion, sensitivity, and clear goals rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. In sessions he draws on cognitive behavioral work to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take useful action even when feelings are hard.
Mindfulness practices are included when they fit a client's needs. Motivational interviewing techniques help when change feels overwhelming or motivation is mixed. Client-centered therapy principles guide how he builds a trusting working relationship.
Together these approaches are used to address issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, communication problems, and co-occurring concerns like substance or eating-related issues. Adrian works with people in Nevada and holds licensure in both Nevada and California as an LMFT. He offers sessions in English and supports several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Adrian often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, then practices concrete skills to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that affect relationships. He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult.Client-centered principles guide his overall way of working, emphasizing listening, respect, and collaboration. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; Adrian will work together with each client to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people see expressions and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while still using the therapeutic approaches described above.
