About Tamar

Tamar Romano is a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist who speaks English and Spanish. She is based in New York and brings eight years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, family tensions, self-esteem, and depression. Tamar aims to create a calm, open space where people feel heard.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication. She encourages small, doable changes that can ease daily pressure and improve relationships.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on listening to each person’s story and helping them see patterns that get in the way. Tamar uses techniques from Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to support that process. She helps people separate painful thoughts from who they are and choose actions that match their values.

In sessions she works on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also supports work on self-love and social anxiety, offering tools to manage symptoms and try new ways of relating to others. Tamar meets people where they are and moves at a pace they can handle.

She frames progress as steady steps rather than quick fixes. For Spanish speakers she offers bilingual support to make conversations easier and clearer.

Online session options

How narrative and acceptance-based work online

Therapy with Tamar often draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Narrative Therapy focuses on telling and reworking the stories people carry about themselves, which can reduce shame and open new choices. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values, which can help with anxiety and low mood.

She treats the choice of approach as a team effort. Together the client and therapist will talk about goals, try different techniques, and settle on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt methods as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they prefer that connection. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins and shorter, ongoing work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep steady progress from wherever someone is located.
