Dr. Barbara Romfo

Dr. Barbara Romfo is a licensed psychologist with more than 34 years of clinical experience. She practices in West Virginia and supports people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and major life transitions. She brings a calm, steady presence and practical guidance to sessions.

Her work often focuses on coping with life changes and the stresses that come with them. She also helps people dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Chronic pain, illness, and disability are additional areas she addresses as part of a person's wider story.

Dr. Romfo integrates several approaches in her work, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and motivational interviewing. She draws on these methods to tailor sessions to each person's goals and pace.

Her practice is informed by Christian principles and an interest in life purpose, workplace issues, and women's concerns. She aims to create a supportive space where people can name what matters, test new ways of coping, and strengthen their decision-making.

Sessions are designed to help people build resilience and practical skills. The emphasis is on clear, usable strategies and steady emotional support as individuals move through change and recovery.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them clarify what they want to change or understand, which can be useful for stress, life transitions, and questions about life purpose.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address unhelpful patterns. CBT often works well in remote sessions because many tools can be practiced between meetings.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. Short skills practice and structured check-ins can fit into an online format and help people apply strategies in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying out techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since this listing does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep momentum as they work through life changes and develop new coping skills.
