About Amy

Dr. Amy Cuellar is a Texas psychologist (TX Psychologist 33368) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, sleeping problems, anger, career strain, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are aimed at helping people build practical skills for managing symptoms and moving forward.

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 then finished a post-doctoral fellowship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in the Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center. Those roles included work with mood disorders and trauma-related concerns.

Her clinical approach draws principally from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She leans on CBT when symptom reduction and skill-building are needed, and shifts toward solution-focused work for adjustment to life transitions. Trauma-Focused Therapy also informs her work when past events are affecting current functioning.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. She treats the person in the room as an expert on their own life and blends that knowledge with evidence-based techniques. Clients are taught concrete strategies so they can apply them outside sessions and handle difficult moments more effectively.

Her publications address mood disorders, trauma, and how life events affect bipolar depression. People who want straightforward, practical help for anger, mood, or stress-related problems often find her style matches those goals.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Cuellar uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in much of her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on finding small, practical changes and goals that help people adjust during life transitions or stressful periods.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to weigh goals, current difficulties, and personal preferences, and then recommend strategies to try together. That may mean learning specific CBT skills one week and working on short-term solutions the next.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use online sessions to practice skills in real time, set follow-up tasks, and track progress between meetings, which can help carry new habits into daily life.
