About Shanene
Shanene Romero is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She has three years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She focuses on improving relationships, self-esteem, and motivation while offering a calm, nonjudgmental presence during sessions.
Shanene creates a welcoming space where people can talk about hard feelings and confusing thoughts. She aims to help clients notice what matters to them and take small steps toward change.
How Shanene works
She also offers faith-based therapy for clients who want to include spiritual beliefs in their recovery. Her approach blends practical tools and compassionate listening. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people shift unhelpful patterns.
She pairs those tools with client-centered and mindfulness practices to build awareness and emotional balance. Sessions often focus on clear skills people can try between meetings, such as noticing patterns, practicing new communication habits, or choosing values-based actions. Shanene works with life challenges like codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and midlife transitions.
She also addresses concerns related to panic attacks, social anxiety, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and loneliness. The goal is steady progress and practical change rather than quick fixes. If you want guidance and a steady partner while you make changes, Shanene offers supportive, down-to-earth care.

How Shanene Uses Practical Therapies Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and focusing on meaningful life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often helps with panic, depression, social anxiety, and managing mood swings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Shanene will listen to a client's goals and preferences and then suggest techniques from ACT, CBT, and mindfulness that fit. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts methods as needs change over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions offer a simpler connection and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, short coping plans, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These formats make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
