About Tamar

Tamar Romano is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York who works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice and offers a bilingual approach in English and Spanish to help clients express difficult thoughts and emotions. Tamar emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and issues around self-love and social anxiety.

Her manner blends active listening with evidence-based strategies drawn from approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods. Tamar aims to partner with each person to identify patterns that get in the way of connection and well-being, and to build practical skills for managing emotions and improving relationships.

She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and supports clients through that initial step and beyond, offering adaptable session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Approaches that guide online work and practical access

Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to notice different parts of themselves, understand their roles, and cultivate a compassionate inner perspective; it can be useful for addressing inner conflict, shame, and patterns that affect relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them, clarifying values, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, which supports work on anxiety, depression, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and empathy, giving clients space to explore feelings and build self-understanding in a nonjudgmental atmosphere.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tamar will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She views therapy as a partnership in which techniques are adapted to the individual rather than applied rigidly.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. These options allow clients to continue work on stress, relationships, and emotional growth while fitting therapy into their daily lives.
