About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family issues, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and bipolar-related challenges.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. That often means working with thoughts and behaviors using cognitive behavioral therapy and looking at personal stories and patterns with narrative and client-centered ideas. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when they fit a person’s goals.
In the room she focuses on helping people name the problem and try steps that lead to small, manageable change. She listens and then uses concrete tools such as thought records, problem-solving steps, and brief behavioral experiments. Sessions may include grounding or breath-based mindfulness practices when those are useful.
Her background includes work across a range of age groups and settings, and she adapts methods to each person’s life. She pays attention to how attachment, abandonment history, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress can affect mood and relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. For people balancing study, early career demands, or relationship strain, she aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to everyday choices and pressures.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and focusing on what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs someone to reflect their thoughts and feelings and build trust in the conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want step-by-step strategies. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions to reduce reactivity and improve concentration and emotional regulation.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit the person’s life. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps and what feels workable for the client.
The practical benefits of online work include making sessions fit into a busy schedule and removing travel time so therapy can fit between study, work or caregiving duties. The exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to try short check-ins during a demanding week.
