About Tandi
Tandi Orluk works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, mood struggles, or major life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable. Tandi is an LCSW with 18 years of experience and practices in New York.
Her sessions start with simple goals the client wants to reach. She uses straightforward methods to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior.
How Tandi works
That can include learning new coping skills, practicing mindful awareness, or building routines that improve sleep and daily functioning. Tandi mixes several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Her experience includes supporting people through trauma, relationship strain, work-related stress, compassion fatigue, and concerns about body image, eating, and addictions.
She also addresses issues such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, and post-traumatic stress when those are part of someone’s story. Sessions can be practical and goal-oriented or more reflective, depending on what someone prefers. Tandi helps people weigh options and set manageable steps.
She works with motivation-based strategies when change feels hard and encourages self-compassion along the way.

How Tandi’s Approaches Work Online
Tandi uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities, goals, and pace. That approach means conversations start with what matters to the client and build from there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Tandi will listen to how symptoms show up, what has helped or not helped before, and what someone wants to achieve. From there she and the client decide together which techniques to emphasize and adjust those choices as therapy moves forward.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a focused written check-in, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the same therapeutic methods available.
