About Shanene

Shanene Romero is a California-licensed LMFT with three years of clinical experience working with couples and within a residential treatment setting. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, she focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, confidence building, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Her background includes direct work with couples and clients in intensive care environments, providing experience with both relational dynamics and individual recovery.

She prioritizes creating an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly, and she collaborates with clients to identify goals and practical steps toward greater wellbeing. Shanene integrates evidence-informed techniques and respect for each person’s values, and she also offers faith-based therapy for those who wish to include spiritual beliefs in their healing process.

Recognizing that the first step toward a more fulfilling life often requires courage, Shanene supports clients through that initial decision and throughout the therapeutic journey. She approaches each relationship with warmth and professionalism and aims to empower people to build healthier relationships, stronger self-regard, and more consistent emotional balance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Shanene uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance limits daily functioning. She also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques into sessions to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing mood, panic, and relationship concerns. CBT is often helpful for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problems with self-esteem. In addition, Shanene incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance that supports self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shanene collaborates with each person to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and respectful of the client’s values.

Online therapy allows these approaches to be delivered through flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity when schedules or locations change. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and make it possible to work steadily toward goals from wherever the client is located.
