About Tamara

Tamara Mason is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative stance that recognizes each person as the expert on their own story, helping clients identify their existing strengths and build practical skills to address persistent worries, mood shifts, and interpersonal difficulties.

Mason draws on a mix of evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered principles, mindfulness practices, existential questions about meaning and values, and motivational interviewing techniques. Her style supports exploring how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact while also honoring personal values and cultural context.

She frames the first step of reaching out as an act of courage and aims to make the early sessions focused, respectful, and oriented toward concrete goals that fit each client’s life and rhythm.

Collaborative approaches for online mental health care

Tamara Mason commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, and depression. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building on a person’s strengths so goals emerge from what matters most to the individual.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to explore needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so the work aligns with what the client wants to accomplish and how they prefer to engage.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics.
