About Ricardo
Ricardo Romero-Andrade is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on sleep and rest alongside common concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and depression. He draws on five years of professional experience to help people untangle daily worries and recurring sleep problems. Ricardo writes in a straightforward way and centers the person's own strengths during sessions.
He believes the client is the expert on their life and brings that perspective into each meeting. Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes people can try between meetings. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to how sleep and rest patterns affect mood and coping.
Ricardo works with issues related to relationships, intimacy, parenting stress, and substance use, and he also supports people facing trauma, chronic health concerns, or major life transitions. He helps people sort through family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and problems with communication and control.
In sessions he looks to build on what a person already does well, then test changes in real life. That might include adjusting bedtime routines, practicing short coping exercises, or planning ahead for emotional triggers. The pace is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Ricardo holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and practices in Nevada. He offers therapy in English and focuses on making therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.
Approaches to sleep, mood, and everyday coping
Ricardo uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can try. One common approach is behavioral work that targets routines and habits - for example, adjusting bedtime cues and daytime activities that influence sleep. This helps when sleep problems are tied to daily patterns and stress.Another area of focus is mood regulation strategies that teach short, repeatable skills for managing anxiety, anger, or depressive episodes. These methods often include simple breathing or grounding exercises and planning tools to handle triggers and difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ricardo collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, lifestyle, and comfort level. He checks what helps, adapts the plan, and builds on what already works for the client.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since current formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone keep consistent momentum while testing sleep and routine changes between meetings.
