About Daniel Romo
Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who builds therapeutic relationships that emphasize dignity, respect, and practical progress. He was born and raised in Southern California and completed a bachelor’s degree in Psychology at California State University Fullerton before earning a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in Trauma and Latinx Studies from Pacific Oaks College. He began his clinical work with a trainee-ship in 2015, providing school-based services to elementary and secondary students in the Pasadena area and supporting a non-public school and a local nonprofit through Designated Instructional Services.
Earlier in his career, in 2011, he worked as a Mental Health Wellness Specialist at a residential level 14 facility, supporting at-risk youth and families by teaching life skills and helping improve cognitive functioning. Those formative roles informed his later work at various nonprofit agencies and his role as a Community Wellness Specialist, where he assisted clients in setting and working toward both short-term and long-term goals while attending to cultural and contextual factors that shape each person’s needs.
Across individual, family, and group settings, he has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, attention and impulse-control issues, anger management, interpersonal relationship difficulties, and substance misuse. He has worked with diverse populations, including members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, and has a sustained interest in expanding access to therapeutic support for people who may otherwise have limited options.
His approach is client-centered and culturally attentive, drawing on training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Family Systems, Object Relations, and existential and humanistic perspectives. He focuses on developing tailored plans with each person or family to improve functioning and quality of life, emphasizing practical strategies, collaborative goal setting, and sensitivity to background and identity.
