About Binoy
Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose is an LPC based in Texas who supports people coping with stress and anxiety. He has 11 years of experience helping people as they face depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship or parenting strain. He speaks English, Malayalam, and Tamil and aims to make first steps feel manageable.
In sessions he focuses on creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. He listens closely and helps people name what is happening for them.
Background and approach
From there he works with each person to set small, realistic goals and try simple strategies between meetings. Binoy uses a mix of practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build a life that matters to the client.
For people with traumatic memories he may incorporate EMDR methods when appropriate. People often come for help with anger, self-esteem, intimacy, or coping with big life changes. He also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, or concerns tied to money and work.
Sessions are aimed at helping people regain calm and more control over daily life. Therapy sessions can be delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule according to availability.
How Binoy blends therapy approaches online
Binoy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small action toward a meaningful life, even when worry or fear is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.He approaches treatment as a collaboration. Together the client and therapist review goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Finding the right approach is an ongoing process, and he supports clients as they choose techniques that fit their needs and daily life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls can recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
