About Tamie
Tamie O'Neil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Tamie also addresses specific challenges such as ADHD, mood disorders, panic attacks, and money and financial issues.
She uses a client-centered style to build a working relationship from the first session. That means Tamie starts by meeting people where they are and helping them set clear, realistic goals. Once goals are chosen, she and the client map out small steps to move forward.
Tamie draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to change patterns that cause distress. She blends mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and emotions without getting overwhelmed.
Her background includes work in crisis counseling, where she helped people manage suicidal thoughts, secure basic needs, and develop coping plans. That experience informs a calm, problem-solving approach during hard moments.
With 12 years of experience, Tamie focuses on helping people build skills they can use every day. She encourages collaborative work and adapts interventions to fit each person’s situation and goals. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy is about building a strong partnership and focusing on the client's goals. Online sessions can still create that collaborative relationship by prioritizing what the person wants to work on and checking in about progress.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is well suited to talk-based online sessions and to setting small exercises people can try between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can be practiced during or between sessions and often fit into daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences through discussion and short trials of techniques. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn't working.
Confirm available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness often adapt well to remote meetings, while the therapist tailors tools and homework to fit each person's life.
