About Howard

LCSW licensed in New York with 30 years of experience, Howard Tieger helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. He works with individuals facing workplace strain, relationship communication struggles, midlife concerns, and mood or impulse issues. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice is based in New York.

Howard begins by listening to what matters most and by naming the practical problems in a person's life. He focuses on clear, direct conversation about emotions, behaviors, and immediate coping steps. Sessions aim to identify small changes that make daily life easier and safer to navigate.

Over three decades he has worked with a wide range of life challenges including caregiver stress, isolation, divorce and separation, and post-traumatic stress. He emphasizes straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety, manage urges related to addiction, and process grief. The goal is to increase a person’s sense of control over daily routines and choices.

Howard structures work around real-world tasks people can try between sessions. He checks progress and adjusts plans as needed. He also pays attention to communication skills and decisions that affect relationships and work functioning.

To begin, a person selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Sheet 2

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Howard’s work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes brief behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines, using small, testable steps to change habits and reactions. Another approach centers on processing trauma and loss through paced conversation and structured tasks that help people make sense of difficult events and reduce their impact on everyday life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Howard will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The focus is on what is useful in real life rather than on labels or specific promises.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to work between meetings, so sessions can support steady progress while fitting into daily routines.
