About Letha
Letha Olmos is a New Mexico licensed social worker (LISW) with 19 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and challenges related to sexual orientation and gender identity. She aims to meet people where they are and build on the strengths they already have.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people identify small, concrete steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
She uses tools from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in the moment, and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful patterns and test new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas are also part of her work when they fit a person’s needs.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about coping with life changes, parenting stress, family problems, abandonment or attachment concerns, and issues like impulsivity or isolation. She also addresses body image, codependency, commitment or communication struggles, and the emotional fallout of adoption or foster care histories. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in New Mexico as well as international clients.
Letha works with a range of delivery methods including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. She encourages people to treat therapy as a collaborative process. The goal is to increase emotional awareness, strengthen practical coping skills, and support steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Online support
Emotion-focused and practical approaches available online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people access and understand strong feelings in the room so they can change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for times when pain or reactivity gets in the way of feeling connected to yourself or others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match personal values.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. That collaborative process shapes what happens in sessions and what skills are practiced between meetings.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not needed. Live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, short reflections, or ongoing written work between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
