How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy puts the client's goals first and emphasizes active listening and empathy. Online or in person, this approach helps people feel heard and decide what change matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change and lends itself to straightforward exercises between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Romfo will talk with each person about goals, prefered ways of working, and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods so sessions stay focused on the client's needs and progress, making changes if something isn’t working well.
