About Tamar

Tamar Romano is a bilingual licensed marriage and family therapist who works in English and Spanish to support people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience and a New York LMFT credential (NY LMFT 001768), she draws on several evidence-informed methods to help clients develop clearer thinking patterns, stronger emotional connections, and healthier communication habits.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore feelings like shame, guilt, isolation, and difficulty forgiving others while building self-love and social confidence. Tamar uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside acceptance and commitment ideas and relational models to target communication problems, social anxiety and phobia, and concerns around motivation and self-worth.

She encourages practical steps and skills that fit each person’s life while honoring individual values and goals. Based in New York, Tamar accepts international clients and offers therapy in both English and Spanish.

Prospective clients can expect a warm, steady presence focused on listening first and then tailoring methods to support sustainable change and improved relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed actions even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and offers a supportive, empathetic space for individuals to explore feelings and build self-understanding.

Tamar treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She listens to each client's concerns and goals, then discusses which methods might be most helpful and adapts techniques over time based on feedback and progress. This cooperative decision making helps ensure the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to access care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, ongoing support while working with clients to practice skills between sessions and maintain momentum toward their goals.
