How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Romfo draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name feelings and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. EFT focuses on emotions and attachment-related patterns, which can help with relationship and personal distress issues. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools and exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice coping skills between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then decide which combination of methods to use. That collaborative process helps adapt the methods to everyday life and the client’s immediate concerns.
