About Tamara

Tamara Mason is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. She encourages people to recognize their own strengths and take small steps toward change. Tamara writes directly to someone taking that first step and acknowledges how hard it can feel. Her approach centers on listening closely and building a trusting working relationship. Tamara uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, and she blends practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Existential Therapy to help people find meaning during difficult changes and on Mindfulness Therapy to build calm and focus. Tamara works with additional issues such as body image, avoidant personality patterns, commitment and communication problems, impulsivity, panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, self-harm concerns, multicultural challenges, and young adult issues. She explains options clearly and helps people decide which steps feel manageable. With five years of clinical experience, Tamara aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful. She invites people to tell their story at their own pace and supports practical goal setting between visits. The first contact simply begins with a short questionnaire and a conversation about needs. Tamara provides services in English and practices in New York. She asks prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching form and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the person's priorities; online sessions can mirror that pace through steady conversation and check-ins. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to notice and change patterns of thought and behavior, which can be practiced together during sessions and used between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus during daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This means plans can change over time as needs and preferences become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to practice techniques in real-world moments and bring questions to the next meeting. Licensed professionals can work with clients in ways that aim to match each person’s day-to-day life and goals.
