About Maryellen

Dr. Maryellen Romero is a licensed psychologist practicing in Arizona. She has 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related concerns.

She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use right away. Her approach centers on Attachment-Based Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. She uses attachment ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior.

She pairs that with practical CBT tools to change unhelpful thoughts and routines.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped to fit each person rather than following a fixed script. Expect conversations that explore current struggles and clear takeaways to try between visits. Many people work on improving mood, coping with life changes, or addressing patterns that lead to isolation and shame.

Dr. Romero also supports issues related to aging, caregiving stress, family of origin concerns, and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive behaviors. She addresses grief, self-esteem, and questions about life purpose with the same practical focus.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She explains ideas in simple language and helps people build easy-to-use skills. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the next steps manageable and straightforward.

Online support

Attachment and CBT approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. It can help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and routines that maintain low mood or problematic habits.

The therapist will treat approach selection as a collaborative process. Together the person and therapist review concerns, goals, and preferences and decide whether attachment work, CBT, or a mix makes the most sense. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what the person wants to focus on.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue progress when in-person visits are difficult.
