Tamar Romano is a licensed marriage and family therapist who speaks English and Spanish. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and family conflict. Tamar focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions. She keeps the room calm and direct so clients can name what feels hard and try different ways of coping.

Tamar uses straightforward conversation to understand daily patterns that get in the way. She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based ideas to help people notice thoughts and take useful action. She also draws on client-centered methods to make space for each person to lead the pace and focus of work.

Sessions are focused on small, achievable changes. Tamar works with clients to build skills for communication, managing worry, handling guilt or shame, and strengthening self-worth. She also addresses isolation and social anxiety by practicing real-world steps together.

Her approach is collaborative and problem-focused. Tamar helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and track what actually helps over time. She encourages honest conversation about setbacks and growth.

Based in New York, Tamar brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. She invites people who are ready to start a change to take the next step and begin a short matching process to find the right fit.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try different actions to reduce distress and improve mood. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and social worries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people accept difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking meaningful steps toward what matters. It can ease avoidance and increase willingness to try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and letting the client guide the pace and topics, which helps build trust and self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tamar will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. She checks in on goals and adjusts the mix of techniques based on progress and preferences, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick reflections, progress notes, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work, family life, or travel while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
