About Adrian

Adrian Romo is a licensed marriage and family therapist who blends practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and issues with self-esteem.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience and active licensure in Nevada and California, he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and client-centered techniques to shape treatment plans that reflect each client's situation and priorities.

His work covers a broad range of concerns, including depression, trauma and abuse, and a number of interpersonal and identity-related issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, and communication or commitment difficulties. Adrian emphasizes sensitivity and respect in every interaction, aiming to tailor conversations and interventions to what each person needs most.

He encourages those taking the initial step toward therapy and supports them through the process of setting goals and finding strategies that fit their life and values.

Integrating structured approaches with online access

Adrian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship strains. He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility to move toward meaningful goals even in the presence of difficult emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work; Adrian will discuss different methods and adapt the plan based on a client’s goals, preferences, and responses to treatment. He aims to combine skill building, values clarification, and empathic listening so clients and therapist can adjust direction together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or other locations, while allowing therapists to use CBT and ACT techniques in sessions through discussion, exercises, and between-session assignments.
