About Amy
Dr. Amy Cuellar is a Texas psychologist with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, stress, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and questions about life purpose and career direction. Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish.
She earned a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Miami and completed intensive clinical training at VA hospitals, including a pre-doctoral internship at James A. Haley VA Hospital and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. That background includes work in mental illness research, education, and clinical care.
Her primary ways of working draw on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. CBT is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Solution-focused techniques are often used when someone needs practical steps to adjust after a life change.
In sessions she works collaboratively with people to set realistic goals and build skills. She emphasizes learning tools so clients can manage symptoms and handle setbacks on their own. Much of her practice helps people remove barriers to goal-setting and to sustain progress over time.
Her published work includes articles on bipolar disorder, the role of trauma and life events in mood, and depressive symptoms related to social feedback. People often come for help with coping during transitions, addressing persistent mood concerns, or finding direction after a major life change.
How her clinical methods translate to online work
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns linked to anxiety, depression, and mood problems. CBT sessions typically focus on concrete skills like breaking down problems, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing new behaviors. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals to move someone forward after a life change or during career uncertainty.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps clarify whether to emphasize skill-building, short-term solutions, or work on trauma-related concerns.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep.
