About Tamie
Tamie O'Neil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and changes in life. Her approach is straightforward and centered on the person in front of her.
Sessions aim to identify practical goals and small, manageable steps toward them. She brings 12 years of experience working with a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, and ADHD.
Background and approach
That background includes crisis counseling work focused on safety planning, basic needs, coping strategies, and connecting people to supports. Tamie uses a client-centered foundation to build a trusting working relationship. From there she blends cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also draws on mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and solution-focused methods to set clear, practical goals. In sessions she helps people break big problems into smaller steps. Conversations focus on what the person wants to achieve and how to get there.
She encourages realistic, trackable actions that fit everyday life. People who prefer clear structure with room for personal values and choice may find this approach useful. Tamie aims to be a steady partner while clients practice new skills and work toward their goals.
How Tamie blends approaches for online care
Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace. The therapist helps people clarify what they want from therapy and follows their lead while offering support and feedback.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small homework tasks to change how someone thinks and acts, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to stay present and notice feelings without getting swept away. These exercises can help with stress, emotional reactivity, sleep problems, and coping with difficult memories.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between sessions. These options aim to make regular care more manageable and flexible for everyday schedules.
