About Amy
Dr. Amy Cuellar helps people who are feeling stuck by focusing on practical steps they can take right now. She is a Texas psychologist with 17 years of experience supporting people coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, stress, sleep problems, anger, and issues like ADHD and low self-esteem. She also addresses concerns related to career, life changes, and money and financial issues.
Her approach centers on clear goals and hands-on strategies. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. For life transitions and short-term problem solving, she leans on solution-focused methods to build small, useful changes fast.
Dr. Cuellar trained on the adult track and completed a PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Miami. She followed that with a pre-doctoral internship at the James A. Haley VA Hospital and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. Her background includes research and publications on mood disorders and the role of life events and trauma.
In sessions she treats the relationship with the client as a partnership. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track progress so they can manage symptoms on their own over time. Her style is collaborative and focused on teaching tools clients can use after therapy ends.
Dr. Cuellar provides services in English and Spanish from her Texas practice. If you want to explore changes around mood, stress, work, or finances, she guides people through clear next steps to get there.
How her approaches guide online work
Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to tackle everyday problems and more complex mood concerns. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes identifying small, practical steps toward clear goals, which can be useful when adjusting to life changes or managing career and financial stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then recommends strategies to try. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during care.
If you prefer online options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can still use CBT and solution-focused techniques effectively in remote sessions by assigning practice tasks, reviewing progress, and adjusting plans to match real-world challenges.
