Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Romfo commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and rewrite life stories that feel stuck. Narrative work often helps when old patterns or identities get in the way of change. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on active listening, acceptance, and building a trusting connection so people can explore what matters most to them.She may also use elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT techniques are often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday stress. Choosing which approaches to use is a joint decision made with the person in therapy based on needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full-session conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into a busy life.
