About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and changes in life. She works with clients facing trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and career or caregiver strain. Her style aims to be direct and compassionate so people can make practical changes in daily life.
She draws on about 10 years of experience and uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also brings client-centered listening so people feel heard as they set goals. Sessions often include short skills practice, problem solving, and careful listening to understand patterns like attachment, abandonment fears, or codependency.
She supports people working through grief, anger, dissociation, or the effects of abuse and domestic violence. For mood conditions such as bipolar features and depression she helps clients build routines and coping strategies. She offers services in English and Romanian.
Work is focused on practical steps - small changes that add up over time. People can expect a collaborative pace, with adjustments made if something isn’t working. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Therapy sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and format options include video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
How therapy methods meet you online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist creates a respectful space and follows the client's lead to set goals and priorities, which helps with feelings of abandonment, attachment concerns, and relationship struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses short, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques can help when stress, anger, or dissociation feel overwhelming.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy makes sessions more flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and try exercises together, phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well during commutes or short breaks, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and pick the format that works best for day-to-day life.
