About Amy

Dr. Amy Cuellar greets people with a calm, practical approach to common and complex mood concerns. She is a psychologist licensed in Texas and brings 17 years of clinical experience to sessions. People often come to her when stress, anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems make daily life harder. She also works with concerns such as postpartum depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She trained in clinical psychology and completed advanced clinical placements at VA hospitals, where she focused on assessment and treatment of mood and trauma-related problems. That background informs her careful, evidence-minded style. She leans on therapies that teach skills people can use on their own, and she explains things plainly so clients can try new strategies between sessions.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns, set realistic goals, and change behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. She also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to cause distress. Her work emphasizes collaboration - clients’ own knowledge and goals guide the process.

Dr. Cuellar aims to help people build tools for managing mood swings, panic, sleep problems, and life transitions. She supports people working through immigration concerns, career stress, money worries, and issues tied to military or veteran experience. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Dr. Cuellar commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps toward specific goals and can be helpful during life transitions or when someone needs focused problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes reviewing what has helped in the past, trying techniques in session, and adjusting the plan as helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow more flexible appointment times. For example, some people prefer a shorter check-in when days are hectic, while others use longer weekly sessions for deeper skill practice. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life without changing its focus on real goals and skills.
