Tandi Orluk, LCSW

Tandi Orluk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with adults on issues like self-esteem, relationships, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and workplace strain. People contact her about trauma, obsessive or panic symptoms, and challenges tied to Veteran and Armed Forces issues.

Orluk brings 18 years of clinical experience to sessions and centers care on each person's goals. She uses a client-centered stance, asking what matters most and shaping work around those priorities. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills that fit daily life, rather than jargon or lengthy theory discussions.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful, and she incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to support change. Treatment is described as eclectic, so strategies are chosen to match what a person needs in the moment. Progress is tracked against the goals the person brings to therapy.

Tandi has worked with individuals, couples, and families across a range of concerns, and she often supports people recovering from traumatic events. Her style is collaborative - she listens, offers options, and adjusts plans when something isn’t working.

Clients in New York will find a clinician who emphasizes clear goals and usable tools. She encourages people to name what they want from therapy and to take small steps toward those aims.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities and helps the therapist shape sessions around what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for high distress and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to schedule appointments around work or family commitments. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between in-person visits and for using skills in daily routines.
