Background and approach
Dialectical behavior techniques teach skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Tandi draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and find their own reasons to change. Her style is adaptable so sessions can shift as needs change.
People who have experienced trauma, addiction, or workplace stress often look for simple, concrete tools she offers. She holds LCSW credentials in New York and Kentucky and has worked in various clinical settings since 2007. That background informs how she blends therapy methods while keeping the client's goals central.
Conversations focus on practical steps and measurable progress. Tandi helps individuals address issues like sleep and eating problems, feelings of isolation, body image, and career concerns. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and bipolar mood challenges.
Her aim is to walk alongside clients as they work toward clearer day-to-day functioning and greater self-understanding.
How Tandi’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. Sessions begin with listening and follow the client's priorities, helping people feel heard while working toward concrete changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and practical homework to break patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or attention difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will review goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust as progress unfolds. Clients help choose what feels most useful and realistic for their lives.
Online formats allow flexibility across busy schedules. Video calls work well for in-depth sessions that need visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, brief skill practice, and people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals without long commutes or time away from daily responsibilities.
