About Shanene
Shanene Romero is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Shanene also offers faith-based therapy when clients want to include spiritual beliefs in their work.
She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on each person’s goals and priorities. Sessions emphasize listening, empathy, and honest feedback so people feel understood while they sort through difficult feelings. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice their thinking patterns and take actions that match their values.
Shanene has three years of professional experience, including time at a residential treatment facility. That background gives her experience with mood disorders and structured care settings, and it informs how she supports people dealing with intense symptoms or transitions.
In therapy she helps people clarify what they want, build coping tools, and repair communication patterns. Work often includes practicing new ways to respond to stress, testing small behavior changes, and learning mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity.
The first step toward change can feel hard, and Shanene aims to make it more manageable by offering steady support and practical strategies. To begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
How her approaches translate to online work

This approach helps when someone needs a calm, judgment-free space to sort out feelings and choices.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Shanene will talk with each person about goals, comfort level, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try, and they adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online work helpful for fitting sessions into a busy week, keeping regular momentum between appointments, and practicing skills in day-to-day settings. Online sessions can make it easier to join from quieter surroundings, take a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoid travel time while still getting professional support.
