About Amy
Dr. Amy Cuellar helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by mood and life changes. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, sleep problems, anger, and struggles with self-esteem.
She speaks English and Spanish and is based in Texas as a licensed psychologist. She uses clear, practical tools to help people set and reach goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a common approach she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Background and approach
Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term work on concrete steps when life transitions make coping harder. Her background includes a PhD in clinical psychology and extensive clinical training at VA medical centers, where she focused on adult mental health and recovery. She brings 17 years of professional experience to sessions and has published research on mood and trauma-related issues.
In sessions she aims to be collaborative. She treats clients as partners and helps them build skills to manage symptoms and handle setbacks independently. Expect practical homework and clear, measurable steps between meetings.
Dr. Cuellar often focuses on helping people break down large problems into doable tasks. She helps with career stress, coping with life changes, isolation, and compassion fatigue alongside mood and anxiety concerns.
Her work also addresses multicultural and immigration-related stressors. If someone needs help taking the next step, she supports goal setting and plans that fit everyday life. Her style is straightforward and skill-based, with an emphasis on building lasting routines and solutions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Cuellar commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term planning and practical steps to help during life transitions and adjustment problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions can be scheduled to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and feedback. Phone sessions are helpful when video is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or homework reminders between sessions, making it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into a working day.
