About Tamar
Tamar Romano is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She speaks both English and Spanish and focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem.
Background and approach
Tamar also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns and helps with communication problems, forgiveness, and feelings of isolation. Her approach is straightforward and warm.
Sessions aim to give clients a place to talk through feelings without judgment. Tamar encourages practical steps each week so people see small changes over time.
Tamar uses methods drawn from the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among others. She blends these approaches to match what a person needs in the moment, whether that is building new communication habits or noticing unhelpful thought patterns.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then offers strategies that fit daily life.
For parents and individuals worried about relationships or stress, Tamar focuses on clear tools to ease tension and rebuild connection. With eight years of clinical experience she helps people move from feeling stuck to making realistic, manageable changes.
The first session usually explores goals and priorities, and together they make a plan for what comes next.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gottman Method practices in Tamar's work focus on improving how people communicate and handle conflict, with concrete exercises to reduce damaging patterns and build connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take action that matches their values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel understood while they decide what changes matter most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tamar works with clients to pick or combine methods that match their goals and preferences. She treats the process as a collaboration, checking in about what is helping and adjusting the work as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for seeing body language and doing exercises together, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or family routines.
