Tamie O'Neil, LMHC

Tamie O'Neil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and struggles with mood and behavior. Tamie works with clients on practical concerns like sleeping, eating, addictions, and relationship or parenting stress.

She uses a client-centered style to build a working relationship. That means she starts by listening and learning what matters most to each person. Together they set clear goals and break those goals into small, doable steps.

Her background includes crisis counseling and extensive experience with grief, trauma, mood disorders, and eating concerns. Over 12 years she has supported people through panic, bipolar symptoms, and severe life transitions. Tamie also offers help for issues such as isolation, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented. The focus is on what a person wants to change and how to get there step by step. Tamie emphasizes practical strategies people can use between sessions to make progress.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Tamie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is focused and action oriented, and it can help with anxiety, panic, depression, and sleep or eating problems. She also brings a client-centered approach that prioritizes listening and tailoring goals to each person's needs, creating a space where the client's priorities guide the work.

Mindfulness is used alongside these methods to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Those skills help manage stress, reduce rumination, and support emotional regulation between sessions. Tamie works collaboratively, so she will help figure out which mix of approaches best fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed path.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat allow for shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
