About Shanene
Shanene Romero is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of professional experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression among the issues she helps people address. Sessions are offered in English and she can include faith-based perspectives when a client prefers that approach.
Shanene focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening in daily life. She listens to the immediate problems people bring and helps them name patterns that leave them drained or overly responsible for others. Practical steps often follow those conversations, such as experimenting with small changes in how someone communicates or manages strong moods.
Her work draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered ways of responding, and mindfulness practices. That means sessions may include noticing thoughts and feelings, testing unhelpful assumptions, and trying brief behavioral experiments between meetings. Faith and personal values can be folded into those steps when a client requests that.
Shanene previously worked in a residential treatment facility and has experience supporting people around motivation, confidence, and managing mood disorder symptoms. She aims to help people make clearer choices about boundaries, communication, and self-directed goals. The practical focus is on small, doable changes rather than quick fixes.
To begin, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment varies by location and uses a cancelable subscription structure, so people can review cost details before committing.
How sessions work
Approach and what online sessions look like
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with patterns like people-pleasing or feeling stuck by shifting attention to chosen direction rather than trying to remove uncomfortable emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks larger problems into manageable parts by spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with experiments. CBT techniques are often used for anxiety, panic, mood swings, and improving how someone talks to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which tools to try based on the client’s goals, daily life, and what feels doable. Sessions may mix ACT, CBT, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices rather than sticking to one method.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoid travel time. They let people practice communication or boundary-setting in real time and then report back, which supports steady progress without promising any particular result.
