What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

In our sessions, we’ll explore the foundational patterns that shape your relationships with yourself, others, and the world. You can expect me to be direct and curious during our time together. My goal is to provide a curious and insightful space where you can confront and transform old wounds.

Honestly, there is always something I'm curious about or wanting to discuss, but I let you guide the conversation.It is absolutely okay if you are jumping around topics each week; That is normal when you realize how many areas of your life you want to process. I will help guide those conversations and find common threads in each topic, because there usually is!

Hello! I'm Lucy Romo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing remote counseling services to residents of California, Nevada, and Texas. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, Long Beach, and hold clinical licenses in CA, NV, and TX. 

A typical session with me is greeting you and accepting you however you choose to present to the session virtually or in person. I open sessions giving you a chance to process highlights/positives since our last session and concerns/stressors. We review homework from the last session and set an agenda of what you would like to make sure we cover in our time together. Each session is focused on helping you make progress towards your goal which will be different for each individual. Ultimately every session has space for clients to share what they want to cover and learn skills/strategies to address needs and concerns.

Hello, I'm La'Keyta (Keyta), a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Supervisory Endorsement. With over 15 years of dedicated practice, I've had the privilege of guiding countless individuals on their journey toward understanding themselves, sharing their stories, and achieving profound healing. My career has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals unlock their inner strength and resilience. Over the years, I've honed my skills through extensive training and hands-on experience, specializing in therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and more. I am a trauma therapist dedicated to guiding individuals who have endured past and recent trauma, grappling with depression, anxiety, and self-harming tendencies, toward a path of healing and growth. With unwavering authenticity and a belief in your capacity to thrive, my mission is to help you shift from merely surviving to truly living. If you're ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth, or if you have any questions about my approach or expertise, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to listen, support, and guide you on your path to well-being. Thank you for considering me as your partner on this transformative journey. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

A typical session starts with me asking you "what brings you to therapy?" and then we go from there.

Life doesn't have to suck all the time. I'm not saying that therapy can make your life the greatest in the world, but it can help you work through the experiences in your life that are hard to cope with. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who is not close to the problem and who has no idea who we are so that we can say things that we would not usually say to those closest to us so that we are not judged. I'm here to listen to everything you have to say without judgment and then guide you through finding healthy ways to cope with the difficult experiences in your life while you ease into your recovery journey. I offer active listening without judgment, compassion, empathy, and guidance. I am honest in my treatment but gentle. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy, guidance through radical acceptance, as well as decision making, and difficult life changes. I offer bereavement therapy, and couple's therapy as well as guidance for LGBTQIA youth. My passion comes from a personal place that has been a staple in my professional work as I am eager to guide those who want to move forward with their lives while they are experiencing their healing and recovery journey. I can also be found on https://headway.co/providers/3191 which is where I take Oscar, Oxford, United Healthcare, Cigna, and Aetna.

After a quick check in, sessions go wherever you as the client need them to go. Depending on what we are working on, I will ask questions to bring more clarity or insight in the topics discussed and I will support and guide you as things come up. Sometimes we will only work on building coping and grounding skills. Other times you just want to talk about the newest album of your favorite artist. Everything is important and I am here to listen and explore.

I am passionate about empowering clients to strengthen their ability to overcome obstacles that life throws at them. By creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, I works alongside the client to help them feel seen and heard while allowing themselves to be fully authentic. My approach is direct and patient with a dash of humor. Feel free to contact me for a free 15 min consultation to see if I am a good match for you.

The first session with me (or two or three, depending) is largely for the purpose of getting to know each other. I may ask you to take a personality assessment (the Enneagram) and to share with me your perceived challenges--and your perceived strengths, too. From that point, I work intuitively, with the intention of meeting you where you are and working with whatever therapeutic material arises. I'm comfortable with silence, witnessing, holding space and also offering my observations and thoughts about different ways of looking at things.

I bring extensive experience in teaching, mentoring, and supporting individuals of various ages and abilities.

Since transitioning to this setting, I've continued to grow in ways I never anticipated—both personally and professionally. I am deeply committed to fostering a supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to achieve your goals.
