About Tamie
Tamie O'Neil is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on helping parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, mood changes, and the everyday strain that parenting can bring. Her approach is straightforward and practical so people can use skills between sessions.
She begins by listening to each person's concerns and priorities. Tamie uses a client-centered style that lets people set their own goals. Once goals are clear she helps break them into small, doable steps.
Background and approach
Tamie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused work. That means she helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns, practice grounding and awareness skills, and try concrete strategies that can create quick changes. Motivational interviewing informs her way of exploring ambivalence and boosting commitment to change.
Her background includes 12 years working with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, eating and sleeping problems, addictions, ADHD, and relationship or family stress. She has experience in crisis counseling and helping people connect to supports when they are struggling. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative.
Tamie helps people build coping tools, improve communication, and manage symptoms so daily life feels more manageable. She welcomes international clients and conducts therapy in English.

Approaches that fit online parenting support
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their priorities first. The therapist listens without judgment, helps people name what matters most, and co-creates goals that feel relevant to everyday life. This approach is useful for parents who need straightforward support and clear next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills, which can help with anxiety, mood swings, sleep problems, and parenting-related stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills. Simple breathing and noticing practices help reduce reactivity, improve focus, and bring more calm to hectic moments with kids or at work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that fit their needs, and adjust methods as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps match tools to what actually feels doable in daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow a more personal conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins or when journaling between sessions fits a busy routine. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting schedules and work commitments.
