About Tandi
Tandi Orluk is an LCSW with 18 years of experience based in New York. She offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and social anxiety and phobia among other concerns.
She focuses on what a person needs in the moment and uses practical methods to address problems. Sessions look at goals people bring and the steps they can take between meetings. Tandi draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to reduce upsetting thoughts and manage intense emotions.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her work when they fit a client's goals. These approaches are used to help with coping skills, motivation to change, and attention to present-moment experience. Tandi also has experience addressing trauma, panic, OCD patterns, body image, and workplace stress.
Her style favors clear goals and short-term tools alongside deeper work when needed. She asks about what someone wants to get from therapy and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This helps keep sessions focused and practical.
People who are worried about social situations, speaking up, meeting new people, or feeling watched often come with concrete steps to try. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform steps to match and schedule an initial appointment. The therapist then discusses goals in the first session and outlines an approach that fits those goals.
How Tandi uses online sessions and therapy approaches
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to what each person says they need. It emphasizes collaboration and clear goal-setting so sessions follow the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with social anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful when strong reactions or overwhelming feelings get in the way of everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the clinician and client decide together which tools to use and when to try different strategies.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people choose audio-only options that require less bandwidth or brief visits that fit a break at work. Confirm the exact session types offered when scheduling so they match practical needs and daily life.
