About Tamara
Tamara Mason is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with five years of professional experience. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, and related worries that make social situations hard to face.
She takes a direct, person-centered approach in sessions. Tamara treats the person rather than a checklist of symptoms. Conversations start with what matters most to the client and build from there. She uses clear techniques to reduce anxiety and improve coping in day-to-day life.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep anxiety active. She blends this with client-centered methods and mindfulness exercises to help people notice their thoughts and reactions without harsh self-judgment. Motivational interviewing is used when decisions or commitment feel stuck.
Tamara also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, values, and how someone wants to live. Sessions often include practical steps to test new behaviors between meetings. She supports people who struggle with confidence in social settings, communication problems, body image worries, and workplace stress.
New clients are guided through a simple first meeting to set goals and try approaches that fit their pace. Tamara keeps language plain and sessions goal-focused so people can try changes and see what helps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and on what the client wants to address. Online sessions let a therapist follow a client's lead and use conversation to set goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach helps with social anxiety, panic symptoms, and everyday worry.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tamara will help the client decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how they respond. The plan can change over time and is made together rather than imposed.
Confirm specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone practice coping strategies in real-life routines and bring those experiences back into a session for discussion.
