About Letha
Letha Olmos is a licensed social worker in New Mexico who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and identity concerns. She brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Letha writes and speaks plainly, and she centers each conversation on the person in front of her.
Her approach draws from several therapy methods to fit the individual and the problem.
Background and approach
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and build action around it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relational patterns and trust.
Letha often supports people working through trauma, abuse, or gender identity questions. She also helps those dealing with parenting strain, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem, and impulsivity. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping tools, and short-term skills the client can practice between meetings.
Clients can expect a respectful, collaborative stance. The therapist listens first and then suggests approaches woven from the methods above. Progress is tracked with simple steps and check-ins rather than long theory talks.
Letha has a Licensed Independent Social Worker credential, with many years of practice in New Mexico. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients for online work. Practical changes and steady support are central to her work.

How specific approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions toward them. Online ACT sessions often focus on short exercises and real-life experiments to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and tests new ways of thinking and acting; in an online format this often means homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavior plans discussed over video or messaging. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused ideas, or a mix fits best, and adjust as progress is made. Online sessions offer flexibility for people balancing busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client use face-to-face interaction for role-play or emotional work. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, quick tools, and ongoing accountability between scheduled sessions.Questions people ask about Letha
