Tamie O'Neil

Tamie O'Neil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She uses clear, practical conversations to help clients set goals and take small steps toward change. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and focuses on what can be done next. With 12 years of experience, Tamie draws on client-centered counseling to build a working relationship first. She then uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods to outline concrete steps toward goals. Mindfulness techniques are added when helpful to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Tamie has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, substance-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and anger. She has experience as a crisis counselor helping people manage immediate safety needs, find supports, and develop coping strategies. In sessions she helps clients clarify what matters most to them, break goals into manageable tasks, and practice skills between meetings. She leans toward practical strategies like thought-behavior experiments, brief behavioral plans, and motivational conversations to keep progress moving. Seeking help is a first step, and Tamie frames the work as a partnership. She encourages people to try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed. Prospective clients can expect direct feedback and a focus on usable tools.

Background and approach: Tamie trained and practiced in settings that included crisis counseling and outpatient care. That background informs her readiness to address both urgent concerns and longer-term patterns. She uses the strengths a person already has and builds on them, combining client-centered listening with structured techniques from CBT and solution-focused work. Mindfulness practices are woven in to support emotion regulation and reduce impulsive reactions. Over time she helps clients track small wins, reshape unhelpful thinking, and develop sustainable routines that support mood, sleep, and relationships.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps you name clear goals so sessions focus on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers concrete exercises to test and change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tamie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She may start with client-centered conversation, try CBT exercises, and add mindfulness practices as needed, adjusting the plan as progress is seen.
