About Amy
Dr. Amy Cuellar is a licensed psychologist in Texas who helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, and related challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 17 years of clinical experience to sessions. Her work focuses on practical skills that make day-to-day life easier and more meaningful.
She earned a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Miami and completed a pre-doctoral internship at the James A. Haley VA Hospital. She also finished a post-doctoral fellowship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in the Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center.
Dr. Cuellar often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to address mood and anxiety symptoms and leans on solution-focused strategies during life transitions. She aims to help people set realistic goals, remove barriers, and sustain progress toward the life they want.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on teaching skills so people can manage symptoms and become their own therapists over time. She values the client’s knowledge about themselves as an essential part of the work.
Publications from her research include work on bipolar risk factors and how trauma and life events influence mood. Those interests inform her clinical approach and help shape practical strategies for coping and recovery.
How these approaches translate to online care
Dr. Cuellar commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep symptoms going, which can help with depression, anxiety, panic, and sleep difficulties. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes during life transitions, helping people move toward concrete goals rather than dwelling on problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will choose methods that match your needs. This collaborative planning helps tailor the work to issues like mood, stress, sleep, or coping with life changes.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and options that don’t require video if that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapy practical and goal oriented while people manage everyday responsibilities.
