About Tamie
Tamie O'Neil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York. She meets people where they are and helps them identify practical goals. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can take to feel steadier and move forward.
She draws on a client-centered style that puts the person's priorities first. That means listening, asking useful questions, and shaping goals from what matters most to the client. Motivational Interviewing is part of the toolbox used to help people find their own reasons to change.
Tamie also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns that keep problems stuck. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with stress, anxiety, and managing intense emotions. Solution-focused ideas help keep work short-term and goal-directed when that suits the person.
Her background includes crisis counseling and work with a wide variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, eating concerns, grief, addiction, and relationship strain. She helps people build coping skills, identify supports, and plan steps toward safety and stability when needed.
With 12 years of experience, Tamie aims to empower clients to take steady, manageable steps toward healthier routines and stronger emotional coping. People who want clear goals and practical strategies may find her approach helpful.

How Tamie's Approaches Work Online
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify why change matters to them and strengthens their own motivation. Online sessions using this approach focus on asking open questions, reflecting concerns, and building a concrete plan that fits the person's life.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client's agenda. In an online setting this means the conversation sets the pace and goals, and the therapist supports choices without directing them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework, and step-by-step problem solving to use between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That way the work evolves from the client's needs and preferences.
The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins from different places. It also lets therapists use worksheets, guided mindfulness practices, and behavioral experiments between meetings to keep progress moving. -
