About Tamie
Tamie O'Neil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. Tamie brings 12 years of experience and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful for people feeling overwhelmed.
She uses a warm, client-centered style that starts by meeting people where they are. Sessions begin with listening and clarifying what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
From there she helps set clear goals and breaks those goals into manageable next steps. Tamie draws on several practical methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to reduce distress, and solution-focused strategies to build small wins. She also uses motivational interviewing when people need help finding reasons to make hard changes.
Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She has provided crisis counseling and helped people develop coping plans and identify supports when safety or basic needs were at risk. Tamie explains things plainly and keeps treatment goals concrete.
Parents can expect straightforward guidance on communication, behavior strategies, and managing stress related to family life. She welcomes clients who prefer online or remote formats and works to find a pace that fits each person.
How Tamie's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client says matters most. It helps people who need a calm, respectful space to sort priorities and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses simple exercises to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning; it is helpful for stress, panic, mood problems, and sleep or eating issues.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tamie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. If an approach doesn't feel helpful, she adjusts the plan together with the client to find what works better.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling easier for busy family lives. These options let people keep regular contact, practice skills between meetings, and get support without long commutes. The variety of formats also makes it possible to pick the rhythm and style that best supports parenting and family responsibilities.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
