Autumn Altamirano

Autumn Altamirano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain, and relationship struggles. She also addresses issues like low self-esteem, grief, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Autumn writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel understood from the start.

She takes a client-centered approach, which means she begins where each person is and follows their lead. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills that can be used between appointments. Autumn uses a mix of methods to match a person's needs rather than a single technique.

Over a decade of work in outpatient settings, private practice, and school-based programs informs her style. Her background includes an undergraduate degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. She holds LCSW credentials in California and Tennessee.

In the room she aims to be warm, straightforward, and collaborative. She helps people set small goals, try new coping strategies, and notice what changes help most. Progress is discussed in simple terms and adjusted as needed.

When appropriate, Autumn weaves in mindfulness practices and attachment-focused ideas alongside cognitive behavioral tools and motivational interviewing. Outside work she enjoys soccer, reading, cooking, and spending time with her husband and children.

How different approaches shape online care

Autumn uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and body signals without judgment, which can reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on patterns in close relationships, helping people understand and change how they relate to others.

She combines these approaches with client-centered collaboration so the client and therapist decide together what methods to try. Autumn will check in about goals and preferences, and then tailor exercises and conversations to what feels most helpful for that person.

Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to meet from familiar surroundings. Confirm current session options before booking to learn what formats are available. The therapist will coordinate timing and session features so therapy can fit into everyday life and the client can practice skills between appointments.
