About Tandi

Tandi Orluk is an LCSW with 18 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the fallout of traumatic experiences.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a client-centered stance, starting by learning each person's goals and priorities so therapy is shaped around what matters most to them. Her practice blends practical skill-building with attention to the emotional work needed for recovery and growth.

Her approach is adaptable and draws from cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to meet varied needs such as coping with life changes, relationship struggles, addictions, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and body image.

Tandi aims to partner with clients to identify realistic steps and tools that support better daily functioning, improved coping, and clearer direction. Based in New York, she brings nearly two decades of experience to a supportive, goal-oriented therapeutic process.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Many clients find cognitive behavioral therapy useful for identifying the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties and for learning practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers structured emotion regulation and interpersonal strategies that can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Mindfulness therapy supports present-moment awareness and stress reduction by teaching attention and self-compassion practices that complement skill-based work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tandi works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and tailors a mix of methods so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single technique. Over time she and the client review progress and adjust strategies to ensure the work remains useful and relevant.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for fitting therapy into busy lives and for accessing care from home or other convenient locations. These options allow clients to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care even when schedules or circumstances change, while working with licensed professionals to address stress, ADHD-related challenges, trauma recovery, and other concerns.
