About Barbara

Dr. Barbara Romfo is a licensed psychologist practicing in West Virginia with 34 years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Her work often addresses stress, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and challenges tied to chronic illness or pain.

Barbara draws on methods that center the person and their goals. Sessions prioritize listening first, then practical steps clients can try between meetings. She describes her practice as rooted in Christian principles and respects how faith can shape a person’s healing path.

People who come to her often want clear tools for managing impulsivity, anger, or attention difficulties, and support finding direction in work and life. She also focuses on codependency, self-esteem, and career concerns in straightforward terms. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her approach balances emotional work with skill building. That can mean identifying upsetting thoughts and testing different responses, practicing emotion regulation skills, or working on attachment and relationship patterns. She encourages small, manageable changes that fit into daily life.

Dr. Romfo asks clients to be active partners in the process. She helps set realistic goals and checks in on what works. If you want therapy that combines practical strategies with thoughtful conversation, she may be a good fit.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and guidance while following the client's pace, which helps when people need space to talk through difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. These tools are often useful for managing impulsivity, anger, and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. Together clients and the therapist decide which combination of listening, skills practice, and structured exercises fits best.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy fits around work and family commitments.
