Iamina Stoian

Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She supports concerns like ADHD, bipolar symptoms, low self-esteem, caregiver strain, and career stress. She also works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, blended family difficulties, and body image. With ten years of experience, she uses a practical, adaptable approach. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients spot patterns that keep problems going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent starting point because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions in ways people can change. She also draws on client-centered listening, mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity, motivational interviewing to clarify goals, and narrative ideas to reframe stories people tell about themselves. In practice she helps people set small, achievable goals and build routines that reduce overwhelm. For caregivers and people juggling many responsibilities, she looks for realistic adjustments that fit day-to-day life. She pays attention to safety, dissociation, and intense emotional responses and helps clients develop coping steps. Iamina speaks English and Romanian and works with adults across a range of life challenges. Prospective clients can expect a straightforward, compassionate style that aims to make therapy usable and relevant.

Approaches that translate to online work

Iamina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioral changes, and measure what works. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens deeply and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. This helps build trust and keeps sessions focused on the client's priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and make decisions together based on goals, comfort with techniques, and what feels manageable. Over time she adjusts methods so sessions stay practical and relevant to daily life.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a familiar setting. It can also make shorter or more frequent check-ins feasible for people balancing caregiving or work. Confirm the exact session formats available when you schedule so you know what to expect.
