Amanda Romero

Amanda Romero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 10 years of experience helping adults, teens, and military-connected families navigate change, healing, and identity development. She supports people who are feeling stuck in anxiety or depression, carrying the weight of grief and loss, questioning their self-worth, or trying to make sense of relationship patterns, attachment wounds, and major life transitions. Her work also includes helping clients manage career stress, trauma-related concerns, and the ripple effects of family trauma, emotional neglect, and the unique pressures that can accompany military life.

Amanda’s style is warm, grounded, and strongly relationship-centered. She aims to offer a place where clients can show up as they are, without being reduced to a label, while feeling seen and respected. Her counseling approach blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with humanistic, trauma-informed, and attachment-based practices to help clients understand unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

She views therapy as a collaborative process, shaping a treatment plan that reflects each client’s lived experience, goals, and values. Amanda recognizes that reaching out can feel especially difficult when vulnerability has felt unsafe, and she offers steady support, practical tools, and clarity as clients work toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and aligned.
