About Letha
Letha Olmos is a Licensed Independent Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and LGBTQ issues. She speaks plainly and listens first, helping clients find practical steps they can use right away. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and the life they want to build.
Letha draws on nearly two decades of experience in social work to guide conversations about trauma, depression, anger, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She often uses Existential Therapy to look at meaning and values, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build flexible coping skills, and Attachment-Based methods to repair relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral ideas and client-centered listening also shape her work. In sessions she focuses on what is useful now.
That can mean learning new ways to respond to stress, practicing acceptance of difficult feelings, or adjusting routines that get in the way of daily life. She believes clients hold strengths already and helps them notice and use those strengths more intentionally.
Letha supports people working through family problems, parenting stresses, adoption and foster care concerns, and issues around identity such as gender dysphoria. She also addresses ADHD-related struggles like impulsivity and concentration in practical, day-to-day terms. Her practice is located in New Mexico and she offers services in English.
With a grounded, respectful style, she helps people move from feeling stuck to taking clearer steps toward the life they want.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, values, and the choices that shape daily life. It can be useful when feelings of emptiness, life transitions, or questions about identity are part of the concern. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult emotions while taking actions that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to stay engaged in life despite hard feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It can help people notice and change repeated ways of relating that cause conflict or isolation. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adapt them as the work progresses rather than sticking to a single technique. Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls are close to in-person conversation and work well for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, homework discussions, and short support easier to schedule. These options let people keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other commitments.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
