About Amy

Dr. Amy Cuellar works with adults facing stress, mood concerns, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and related challenges who want practical strategies and measurable progress.

Background and approach

She emphasizes helping clients set and sustain meaningful goals so they can move toward lives that feel purposeful and manageable. Dr.

Cuellar draws on 17 years of clinical experience as a licensed psychologist in Texas (TX Psychologist 33368). Her training includes a PhD in clinical psychology and advanced internships and fellowships focused on veteran mental health.

She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused methods and trauma-informed perspectives to address symptoms and daily functioning alike. Her style is collaborative: clients’ self-knowledge is treated as essential, and the therapist aims to teach skills that enable people to become their own best problem-solvers.

Dr. Cuellar also brings attention to issues such as sleep problems, career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, multicultural and immigration-related stressors, and a range of mood and anxiety presentations.

She offers services in English and Spanish and tailors her approach to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Cuellar commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills that reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors in ways that support better daily functioning and emotional balance.

She also employs solution-focused therapy when the primary need is adjusting to life transitions or moving quickly toward specific goals; this approach emphasizes clients' resources and small, practical changes that lead to measurable progress. Both approaches can be useful for challenges like stress, sleep difficulties, career-related decisions, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to identify priorities, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust strategies over time so therapy aligns with personal goals and values.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or limited mobility. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care in both English and Spanish from various locations within Texas.
