About Tandi
Tandi Orluk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and workplace strain. She draws on 18 years of practice to support people working through life changes, relationship strain, and trauma-related concerns. Tandi aims to meet people where they are and build goals together so progress feels practical and doable.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and use straightforward interventions to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Tandi blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and everyday habits.
She has worked across a wide range of concerns including addiction, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, attention difficulties, sleep and eating issues, and stress related to the workplace. Additional focus areas include body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, and recovery after sexual assault or other trauma.
Tandi asks about goals early and revisits them as therapy progresses. That keeps work focused on measurable steps like managing panic attacks, reducing avoidance, or improving work-life balance. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness exercises to support change and self-reflection.
Based in New York with licensure as an LCSW, Tandi combines practical tools and listening to help people build steadier routines and clearer choices. She invites people to discuss what they want from therapy and then plans next steps together.
How Tandi’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy places the client’s priorities first and guides sessions by what the person wants to change. It involves open listening, checking goals often, and adjusting the plan to fit real life. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve routines. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tandi will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools for a specific worry, DBT skills for intense emotions, or mindfulness practices to improve attention and sleep. The plan evolves based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and daily life, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the ability to use guided exercises or homework between sessions.
