About Letha

Letha Olmos is a licensed social worker in New Mexico who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday difficulties that can make life feel overwhelming.

Background and approach

She brings 19 years of professional experience to sessions and emphasizes clients' existing strengths as the foundation for change. Letha affirms LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, parenting challenges, and attention-related struggles such as ADHD, offering steady support as clients navigate transitions and painful life events.

Her approach blends practical skills with relational understanding, drawing on therapies that address thoughts and behaviors as well as attachment and emotion. Letha encourages people to recognize their own expertise in their stories while she offers guidance, tools, and empathy to expand coping options.

She aims to empower clients toward greater fulfillment, clearer communication, and healthier relationships, meeting each person where they are and helping them move toward the life they want.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete coping skills for symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and relational patterns to improve connection and resolve conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of techniques as progress unfolds. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so therapy feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy with Letha can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats offer flexibility for incorporating therapeutic tools into daily life and make it easier to attend sessions from different locations while keeping treatment consistent and accessible.
