About Amy
She trained in clinical psychology and completed internship and postdoctoral work at VA medical centers. That background led to many years helping people with depression, bipolar concerns, panic, sleep problems, anger, and stress. Much of her work focuses on clearing the blocks that stop people from setting and meeting personal goals.
In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. That means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying different behaviors, and setting small, doable goals to create change. The approach is collaborative - the person in therapy is treated as the expert on their life while the therapist brings techniques and structure.
Dr. Cuellar also draws on trauma-focused ideas when past events shape current reactions. She helps people learn skills so they can manage mood shifts and respond differently in stressful moments. The aim is to build skills people can use long after formal care ends.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, immigration issues, loneliness, and life purpose. People who want a practical, goal-oriented partnership may find her style fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active. It uses short experiments and practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Solution-focused therapy centers on small, realistic goals and on building steps that move someone toward the life they want.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether CBT, solution-focused techniques, trauma-informed methods, or a mix makes the most sense for the problem at hand.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing appointments without travel and making brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions simpler to schedule. It can also help when someone needs a quieter space, a shorter conversation, or to avoid being on camera for part of a session. Licensed professionals tailor pace and homework to what will work in each person’s everyday routine.
