About Barbara
Dr. Barbara Romfo is a clinical psychologist practicing in West Virginia with 34 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma.
She also addresses stress, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and life transitions. Her work often includes attention to women's issues, chronic pain and illness, and workplace-related struggles. She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
How Barbara works
Her WV Psychologist 956 credential is part of her professional standing. In sessions she emphasizes clear problem-solving and practical steps. Conversations aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try new ways of responding.
She supports development of coping skills for impulsivity, codependency, and ADHD-related challenges. She also helps people think through career questions and life purpose. When grief or major change occurs, she focuses on steady, doable strategies to regain balance.
Motivational techniques are used to encourage small progress when people feel stuck. Her style is calm and direct, blending listening with active guidance. She works with each person to set realistic goals and check progress along the way.
Therapy is framed as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities lead the plan.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs a safe place to talk, to be heard, and to develop their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it is useful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions cause repeated problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adjust plans based on the client’s goals and what is most helpful. This collaborative stance means the approach can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people have face-to-face conversations when schedules or distance make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support without waiting for the next full appointment. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills between sessions.
