About Howard
Howard Tieger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 30 years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, work through trauma and abuse, and handle grief and major life changes. He also focuses on issues such as caregiver stress, workplace strain, relationship communication problems, and feelings of isolation.
In sessions he keeps language direct and practical. He listens to what is happening now and helps people sort out what to try next. Conversations often focus on everyday routines, managing strong emotions, and small behavior changes that can relieve pressure. He pays attention to how work, family obligations, and money concerns interact with mental health.
Howard draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. He helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practices skills together in session. The aim is to build useful habits for coping, not just to talk about difficulties.
He encourages clear goals and practical homework between sessions when helpful. Progress is tracked by changes in daily functioning - sleep, mood, stress at work, or the ability to handle conflict - rather than abstract measures. People who prefer straightforward, solution-focused conversation about life problems often do well with this approach.
Sessions are conducted in English and Howard does not take international clients. Cost varies with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Howard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and worry. This method targets symptoms like social anxiety, workplace stress, and mood problems by changing how situations are interpreted.Another approach emphasizes learning and practicing coping skills for strong emotions and cravings. Sessions break down urges or flashbacks into manageable pieces, teach breathing and grounding steps, and rehearse alternative responses. That work is useful for trauma, addictions, and intense mood shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and pick methods that fit a person's goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process that adapts as needs change rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep regular appointments and apply what they learn to everyday life.
