She offers steady, practical support for mood struggles, difficult memories, relationship strain, and worries about work or body image.

She draws on many tools to meet each person where they are. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Tandi often uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, manage intense emotions, and build routines that improve sleep and daily functioning. With 18 years of practice, she has worked with people facing trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and panic. She also supports those dealing with eating and sleeping concerns, social anxiety, and issues tied to military service.
Her approach blends client-centered care with time-tested behavioral methods to address specific problems like obsessions, compulsions, and seasonal mood shifts. Tandi is licensed in New York as an LCSW. She speaks English and provides care remotely using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on therapist availability. This process helps identify immediate priorities and the pace that feels manageable for each person.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals first and asks what matters most to them. It emphasizes listening, reflection, and tailoring each session to the individual's needs, which helps when sorting priorities like anxiety, self-esteem, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It is practical and skill-based, often including short exercises to do between sessions to improve sleep, manage panic, or change negative thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through clear steps like distress tolerance and emotional regulation. It is useful when strong mood swings, self-criticism, or relationship conflict make daily life harder.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on what helps.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep visual contact while working through anxiety and practicing skills. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins, real-time coping prompts, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to match therapy to a person's schedule and needs.
