About Letha
Letha Olmos is a licensed independent social worker in New Mexico who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges tied to LGBTQ concerns. She works with people coping with trauma, parenting struggles, grief, anger, self-esteem issues, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person’s existing strengths.
Letha blends practical talk with supportive reflection. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationships.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to help people notice what matters and take actionable steps toward it. Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical experience as a licensed independent social worker. That experience includes helping people with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency, and patterns of isolation or impulsivity.
She offers straightforward guidance rather than jargon-heavy explanations. In sessions she helps identify small, doable changes. She focuses on clear skills for communication, emotion regulation, and problem solving.
She also supports people through identity questions such as gender dysphoria and body image concerns. People who work with Letha can expect a collaborative, respectful tone. She encourages clients to define their goals and to build on the strengths they already have.
Therapy is framed as a step-by-step process toward more satisfying daily life and relationships.

Online support
How attachment and acceptance work in online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current emotional responses and connections. Online sessions can help a person notice patterns of closeness and distance, and practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. That approach helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's nonjudgmental presence and reflective listening, helping people feel heard and clarify their own goals and values.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will try different methods to see what fits best. This collaborative process aims to match tools and strategies to the issues a person brings in, whether that's managing anxiety, working through attachment worries, or improving communication skills.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing processing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care when in-person visits are difficult.
