About Letha
Letha Olmos is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in New Mexico. She brings 19 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD. Letha speaks English and works with people who are exploring identity and LGBT concerns, as well as those coping with trauma or parenting challenges.
She believes clients know their own stories and that therapy builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer choices.
Background and approach
Letha uses everyday language to help people understand patterns and try different responses. Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. She blends acceptance and commitment work with cognitive tools and attention to attachment themes.
The aim is to reduce unhelpful patterns while increasing values-driven action. Letha also brings emotionally focused and client-centered ways of working to the room. This helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem, and communication problems.
She pays attention to how early attachments influence current behaviors and feelings and helps clients find new ways to connect with themselves and others. People seeking help with impulsivity, anger, abandonment, body image, or parenting strain will find structured conversation and practical steps. She supports work on forgiveness, guilt, isolation, and life transitions.
The focus is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change patterns like avoidance or unhelpful thinking, useful for anxiety, stress, and impulsivity.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current behavior and emotional responses. Working through these patterns can improve communication, emotional regulation, and relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist collaborate to pick strategies that fit daily life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, follow-ups, or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
