About Tamar
Tamar Romano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in New York with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family tension, low self-esteem, and depression. Tamar speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She helps people talk through communication problems and the particular weight of guilt and shame. Sessions also address forgiveness, isolation or loneliness, social anxiety, and rebuilding self-love. The approach is straightforward and conversational rather than lecturing.
Tamar blends evidence-based methods with a person-centered attitude. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to untangle unhelpful thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method inform her work on relationship patterns and connection.
In a session she listens for what matters most and helps set small, manageable goals. Conversations focus on practical shifts you can try between sessions and on noticing how patterns show up in everyday life. She encourages gradual practice instead of sudden change.
Sessions may move between Spanish and English when that helps the conversation. If you are taking the first step because guilt or shame feels heavy, Tamar aims to make the work direct and understandable. To begin, follow the practice's online matching and scheduling process.
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match your values. It can be useful for persistent shame or guilt that keeps you from living the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to change how you feel and act. This is practical for anxiety, social fears, and guilt-related thinking patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tamar discusses different methods with each person and decides together which techniques to try first based on goals and preferences. That collaborative exploration may shift as sessions continue and as new issues come up.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel, or allow a quicker check-in when time is limited. Video sessions let you use visual cues for relationship work, while audio-only meetings can be quieter and require less bandwidth. Tamar will outline the practical choices for scheduling and format when you begin the matching process.
