Tamara Mason, LMHC

Tamara Mason is a New York licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and big life changes. She brings a calm, direct style to sessions and encourages people to use their own strengths as a guide. She works to create a space where clients can name what isn’t working and try different ways of coping.

In the room she listens closely and often uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new routines. She also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and choices. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to support moment-to-moment awareness and readiness for change.

Tamara has five years of professional experience and holds an LMHC, licensed in New York. Her background includes helping people with panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, body image concerns, and issues that come up in young adulthood. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and how identity affects daily life.

Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and the subscription used, which can be canceled at any time. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

She aims for clear, doable steps so clients can test changes between sessions. The approach is collaborative, practical, and paced to each person’s needs.

How Tamara’s Approaches Work Online

Tamara uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and to build practical coping skills for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. CBT typically focuses on small experiments and new routines that can be practiced between sessions.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the session on the person’s priorities and experience. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and make clearer decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamara will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and life situation. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan over time rather than assuming one method will fit every issue.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging supports brief updates, coping strategies, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions.
