About Autumn
Autumn Altamirano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and family strain. She works with clients facing trauma, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions. Autumn draws on ten years of experience to guide practical, down-to-earth sessions.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She centers the session on each person’s goals and starts where they are. Conversations are collaborative and focused on small, doable steps rather than jargon-heavy theory.
Background and approach
Autumn uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns and change unhelpful reactions. She also brings client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to sessions so clients feel heard and move toward meaningful change. She has practiced across settings including independent practice, outpatient care, and school-based work.
Autumn trained at the University of Southern California, where she completed a master’s degree in social work, and she holds LCSW credentials in California and Tennessee. Autumn practices from Tennessee and provides therapy in English. Sessions can include conversations about grief, trauma, obsessive thoughts, ADHD concerns, multicultural stress, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Her aim is to build trust, set realistic goals, and help clients find clearer ways to cope and respond. Outside of work she enjoys soccer, cooking, reading, and time with her husband and children. She likes to keep therapy practical, relational, and focused on what helps people move forward.

How Autumn’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and patterns. In online sessions this means noticing how someone relates, what brings up strong reactions, and practicing different ways of connecting and responding in everyday life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In video or phone sessions Autumn helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and practice skills between appointments to reduce anxiety, anger, and mood symptoms.
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s perspective at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s pace so goals come from the client’s values and priorities.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Autumn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time based on what’s most helpful.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues for attachment and emotion work. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to send short updates, try coping tools between sessions, or have a brief check-in during a hectic week. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily routines.
