About Barbara
Dr. Barbara Romfo is a West Virginia psychologist (WV Psychologist 956) with 34 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting and relationship concerns. She also addresses career questions, ADHD, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her work often includes practical problem-solving. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people identify small, manageable changes. Sessions draw on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift thinking and behavior. She also uses client-centered methods to follow the person's priorities.
Barbara pays attention to how pain, chronic illness, workplace issues, and women's issues affect daily functioning. She brings a faith-informed perspective when clients say that matters to them. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or dealing with addictive behaviors.
Her background spans many settings across a long career, so she draws on a broad base of clinical experience. She aims to help people build coping strategies and stronger day-to-day routines. The focus is on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory.
People who come for support often want help with family and parenting concerns, though sessions are focused on the individual’s needs. She conducts work in English and is based in West Virginia. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s online matching and scheduling flow.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, offering reflection and practical feedback to help clarify next steps. This approach can help when someone needs space to sort through family or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches clear tools for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and practical coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Short skills practice can be useful for impulsivity, anger, and relationship strain.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That process may shift as issues evolve.
