About Tamara
Tamara Mason is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Her sessions are straightforward and respectful.
She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, small goals. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and what can change in the next week or month.
Background and approach
Tamara draws on several approaches to shape sessions. She uses client-centered methods to build a trusting, collaborative space. She brings cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought patterns that keep worry and low mood active.
Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice their body and breathing when anxiety rises. She also uses existential ideas to address meaning and direction during big life changes. Motivational interviewing helps with ambivalence and moving toward chosen goals.
With five years of experience in New York, Tamara blends practical tools and listening. She helps people try small experiments between sessions and adjust plans as needed. Her style is calm, direct, and aimed at real-life improvements.
People who are dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, or struggles with self-image may find clear strategies and steady support here. Tamara works in English and conducts sessions online by several formats to fit different routines.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to understand what matters most. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make their own choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect mood and behavior. It uses simple exercises and experiments to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. This method is often useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to breathing, body sensations, and moment-to-moment experience. Small practices used between sessions can reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamara will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose or blend methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what someone actually needs right now.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send short updates, try brief check-ins, or handle scheduling when time is tight. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
