About Tamie

Tamie O'Neil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who works with adults facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

With 12 years of experience, she helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders including bipolar, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific issues such as panic attacks, impulsivity, communication and control problems, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and life transitions.

Her practice emphasizes a client-centered approach that prioritizes building a collaborative therapeutic relationship and identifying goals that matter to each person. Tamie combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing to translate goals into concrete steps and practical coping strategies.

She has experience in crisis counseling and assisting people in developing safety plans, connecting with supports, and meeting basic needs when overwhelmed. Tamie frames therapy as an empowering process aimed at helping clients develop sustainable skills for emotional well-being and healthier functioning.

She welcomes those ready to take an active role in their growth and offers experienced guidance tailored to each individual’s circumstances.

How Tamie Uses Structured Approaches in Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and creating a collaborative relationship that helps clients set meaningful goals and identify practical next steps. This approach supports people who want a compassionate, strengths-based process to clarify values and priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients examine patterns of thought and behavior and learn specific skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, panic, low mood, and problematic coping. Mindfulness therapy complements CBT by teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity during transitions. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow people to engage from different locations, and support ongoing access to therapeutic tools and guidance between in-person commitments.
