Tandi Orluk, LCSW

Tandi Orluk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing since 2007 who brings a steady, trauma-informed focus to work with individuals, couples, and families. She centers care around each person's goals, listening first to what the client needs and shaping treatment to match those objectives. Her practice emphasizes healing from trauma while also addressing a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Orluk uses an eclectic, evidence-informed approach that blends client-centered principles with structured therapies when useful. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior techniques alongside exposure-based interventions and solution-focused strategies, selecting methods that fit the client and the situation. This flexible style allows her to tailor sessions to practical goals and measurable progress.

Throughout treatment she asks about and works toward each client's stated outcomes, collaborating on steps that support lasting change. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, Tandi Orluk aims to walk alongside clients as they build coping skills, restore balance, and move toward the results they sought when beginning therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Healing

Tandi Orluk draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client's values and priorities guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building treatment around what matters most to them, which can be especially helpful for those navigating life changes, relationship concerns, or questions of purpose.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are added to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can support people struggling with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Tandi will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of treatment.
