Dr. Barbara Romfo

Dr. Barbara Romfo brings more than 34 years of clinical experience to her practice in West Virginia. She uses a faith-informed lens alongside practical therapy methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Dr. Romfo aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly and figure out next steps.

Her work often centers on women's issues, workplace concerns, and the challenges that come with chronic pain or illness. She helps people examine patterns around impulsivity, codependency, and relationship struggles. Career questions and finding life purpose are also areas she addresses with clients.

Dr. Romfo combines client-centered principles with structured approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas and motivational interviewing to support change. Sessions focus on practical tools, clearer choices, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who value a therapist who integrates Christian perspectives into therapy will find this approach present in her work. The emphasis is on listening first, then collaborating on goals that feel meaningful to the individual. Meetings are paced to match each person’s readiness for change.

Her goal is to help clients build resilience and clearer direction in life. She supports people through grief, parenting strain, relationship tension, ADHD concerns, and workplace stress while helping them develop coping skills that fit daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, asks clarifying questions, and helps people set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it often uses short behavioral experiments and practical homework to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal relationships, which can be taught and practiced step by step.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which combination of methods fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm session options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy day. It can also make it simple to use written exercises and emailed worksheets between meetings. Ask about available session formats when you set up your first appointment.
