About Tamar
Tamar Romano is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in New York with eight years of clinical work. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and family conflict.
She focuses on clear, straightforward conversations about what feels hard right now. Sessions look at patterns in thoughts, emotions, and interactions. Tamar uses approaches that help people name strong feelings and try different ways of responding to them.
Her way of working centers on listening and reflecting so clients can notice how they react in difficult moments. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to focus on feelings and attachment needs, and she combines that with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors.
Clients can expect practical steps alongside deeper emotional work. That might include skills for handling anxiety, ways to shift unhelpful thought patterns, or communication strategies for tense conversations. Tamar also uses elements of the Gottman Method and client-centered therapy when they fit the goals of the session.
She welcomes people who prefer English or Spanish and accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, the process starts by selecting the online therapy options button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name powerful emotions and see how those feelings shape relationships and behavior. In sessions that draw on EFT, the focus is on recognizing attachment needs and shifting interaction patterns that cause pain.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Tamar works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts the mix of EFT, ACT, and CBT based on what emerges in early sessions and what the client wants to focus on.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists often use video or phone options; check the platform details to see which are available for scheduling with her.
