About Shanene
Shanene Romero is an LMFT based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, mood concerns, and panic attacks. She brings three years of clinical experience and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most. Shanene encourages honest conversations about thoughts, feelings, and goals. She also offers faith-based therapy when clients want to include spiritual beliefs in their healing process.
In sessions she uses practical tools from approaches like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help reduce distressing thoughts and reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps toward them.
Her background includes clinical work in a residential treatment setting and experience supporting couples. That experience informs how she structures sessions and supports clearer communication and problem solving.
Shanene prefers to work collaboratively, helping each person choose strategies that fit their life. The focus is on building skills and making steady progress at a pace that feels doable. She invites prospective clients to begin with the Start Therapy process and a short matching questionnaire to explore whether her approach is a good fit.
Approaches you can expect in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and for taking meaningful steps when change feels hard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that fuel distress. It offers concrete strategies to reduce panic symptoms and to build more effective coping patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life. Those skills often pair well with behavioral techniques to manage worry and panic attacks.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting over time as progress is reviewed.
