    About Barbara

    Dr. Barbara Romfo is a licensed psychologist in West Virginia with 34 years of practice. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and major life changes. Her work often includes concerns about relationships, parenting, career stress, and self-esteem.

    She brings attention to women's issues, workplace challenges, and the effects of chronic pain and illness. Her therapeutic stance is grounded in Christian principles and aims to help clients connect with a sense of life purpose. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical next steps.

    Dr. Romfo uses several approaches to match what each person needs. She incorporates Motivational Interviewing to strengthen readiness for change, and she uses client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral tools are offered to help people notice and shift patterns of thought and behavior.

    People who choose her work with a therapist who listens closely and offers direct, down-to-earth guidance. The aim is to build skills for coping, reduce distress, and develop more satisfying ways of handling relationships and daily pressures. She invites clients to set the pace and priorities for therapy.

    Her long experience means she draws on many clinical ideas while tailoring sessions to each person's situation. Anyone curious about working together can expect straightforward help in sorting problems and planning manageable steps forward.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Dr. Romfo uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify why change matters to them and to build personal motivation for taking steps forward. This approach is often useful for issues like addiction, impulsivity, and making life changes.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience, providing a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is offered to identify unhelpful thinking and practice concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depression.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That discussion guides whether sessions lean more toward motivational strategies, skills practice, or reflective conversation.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offering shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also allow people to connect with a licensed professional from their own community when scheduling is a challenge.
