About Tamar
Tamar Romano is a New York licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who provides therapy in English and Spanish. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make the first step easier for people who feel uncertain about starting therapy.
She keeps sessions warm and nonjudgmental. Tamar builds space for people to speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. She helps clients notice what matters to them and what gets in the way of living in line with their values.
Tamar blends several practical approaches to match a person’s needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow each person’s pace. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
When relationship strains appear, she uses tools from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to clarify interaction patterns and improve communication. Sessions can include skill practice for handling conflict, rebuilding trust, and increasing emotional connection.
Across work with individuals, Tamar pays attention to common themes such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, loneliness, and social anxiety. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focusing on small, practical steps clients can take between sessions to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
How these approaches guide online work
Tamar commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely and following each person's lead so they feel understood and heard. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them, supporting work on stress, anxiety, and values-based living. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tamar will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration shapes what happens in sessions and which techniques are tried between meetings.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting someone choose whether to use video or other communication when that helps them engage. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication skills practice, and emotion-focused techniques to work well through remote sessions when both people agree on the format.
