About Tamar
Tamar Romano is a New York Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who sees English and Spanish speakers. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem, and depression. Tamar aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried about reaching out.
She keeps sessions straightforward and calm. Tamar creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be named without judgment. She listens closely and helps people notice what matters most to them.
Her work draws on several practical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She uses these methods to help people learn new ways to handle difficult thoughts and to change unhelpful patterns of behavior.
When relationships or family dynamics are the focus, Tamar brings in Emotionally-Focused ideas and elements of the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and repair connection. She also uses client-centered techniques to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Across sessions Tamar helps people build clearer goals and small, doable steps toward those goals. She values plain language and concrete strategies families and individuals can try between meetings. Her bilingual skills also allow her to support English and Spanish speakers through this work.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward a life that feels meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to improve how people express emotions and connect in close relationships, helping to reduce conflict and deepen understanding.Finding the right approach often happens together. Tamar will talk with each person about goals, priorities, and what feels most comfortable. She adapts methods so sessions match a client's needs rather than using one fixed model.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for seeing nonverbal cues, while others prefer audio-only meetings for a simpler setup or lower bandwidth. Discuss formats and scheduling when you get started so sessions work with your routine and goals.
