About Tamar

Tamar Romano is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York with eight years of professional experience. She speaks English and Spanish and lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem and depression among the areas she supports. Social anxiety and phobia are also included in her focus areas. Tamar encourages people who feel stuck to take a next step toward talking things through.

She uses several well-known therapeutic approaches to guide sessions. Tamar draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and related behaviors. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and commit to small steps. Her work also reflects Client-Centered principles that prioritize listening and responding to each person.

In session she talks plainly about problems and practical ways to approach them. Conversations may cover communication breakdowns, guilt or shame, loneliness, and rebuilding self-esteem. For relationship concerns she integrates methods that address interaction patterns and emotion-focused connection.

Tamar is bilingual, which often helps Spanish speakers explain things more easily. She asks simple questions to learn what matters to each person and what they want to change. Sessions are collaborative and paced according to how someone is coping.

To start she directs people to a matching process and scheduling step. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with location, so she asks prospective clients to check those details before booking.

How Tamar uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them, which can help with persistent anxiety and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behavior and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel heard while they identify what they want to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamar will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and what they find most helpful in early sessions. That collaborative process can shift over time as different issues come into focus.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce the time spent traveling. These practical benefits can help people consistently attend sessions while trying out different therapeutic tools and coping strategies.
