Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Romfo commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and understood as they sort their priorities. CBT uses practical steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression over time. DBT emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions and managing impulsivity, which is useful for anger, self-control, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and daily life. The plan can change as needs shift, and sessions include checking in about what is working and what needs adjusting.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text let people reflect in writing or fit short exchanges around work and family commitments. These options help make regular contact more practical and consistent.
