Dr. Romfo draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she reviews what’s not working, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and tries small changes to test different ways of responding.
Her background includes long clinical experience supporting adults through major life transitions and long-term concerns. She combines skills from several approaches to focus on coping strategies, emotion regulation, and clearer communication in relationships.
People can expect focused, practical work aimed at reducing troublesome symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Dr. Romfo asks about goals, tracks progress, and adjusts methods as needed to help people develop lasting habits that support better problem solving.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It uses short practical exercises and homework to change routines and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping people clarify their goals. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports clearer self-direction and decision making.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when strong emotions or impulsive actions get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Romfo will review concerns, goals, and preferences with each client and together decide which methods to try first. That choice can change over time based on what works for the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises, assign short between-session tasks, and focus on practical skills that fit into daily life.
