About Adrian

Adrian Romo is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 16 years of clinical experience to his work in Nevada. He draws on Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Adrian frames therapy around respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. His practice includes attention to common and overlapping challenges such as self-esteem, motivation, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, codependency, dissociation, and substance or eating-related struggles.

Adrian emphasizes collaborative care that fits the realities of a client’s life and goals. He acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and aims to create a supportive environment where practical strategies and reflective work can move things forward.

Licensed in both Nevada and California, Adrian combines mindfulness, cognitive techniques, client-centered principles, and ACT-informed strategies with IFS-informed perspectives to offer a balanced, individualized approach to change.

Integrating IFS, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Adrian uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice and relate to different inner parts with curiosity and compassion; this approach can be useful for patterns rooted in trauma, attachment, or internal conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship to support self-exploration and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Adrian works with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences, mixing techniques as appropriate rather than using a single fixed model. That collaborative stance helps tailor pacing, interventions, and homework to what feels most helpful for the individual.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to access therapy around work and life demands. These formats provide flexibility for ongoing skill-building, check-ins, and reflective work without requiring in-person visits, allowing licensed professionals to adapt sessions to varied schedules and communication styles.
