About Tandi
Tandi Orluk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She has 18 years of experience and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She speaks English and works from New York as a New York LCSW and a Kentucky LCSW.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered listening to understand each person's goals and priorities. Motivational Interviewing is part of her method when people want help making changes they feel stuck on. Cognitive Behavioral techniques and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach skills for emotion regulation and thinking differently about problems.
Tandi’s work is goal-oriented and collaborative. She asks about what matters most, then shapes sessions around those targets. She often mixes listening with concrete skill practice so people leave with tools they can try between sessions.
Over nearly two decades she has supported people facing trauma, relationship strain, addictions, mood difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and workplace stress. She also addresses issues like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose.
People who choose her can expect a straightforward, empathetic style. She aims to walk alongside each person as they set and work toward realistic steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How these approaches shape online therapy
Tandi commonly uses Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and strengthens commitment to those changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s priorities so sessions match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. Sessions can shift over time if different tools suit changing needs better.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or video visits that avoid travel time. Online work also supports practicing new skills in daily settings and keeping momentum between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to match each person’s situation and schedule. -
