About Louis
Louis Krigger is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 21 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns. He also supports those facing issues with addiction, grief, trauma, or challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and plans are shaped to the individual's needs, not a one-size-fits-all script.
Background and approach
Louis focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to reduce pressure and build small wins. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative. He listens first, clarifies what matters most, and then works with people to set manageable goals.
He encourages small, consistent changes rather than sudden overhauls. Over two decades in practice have brought exposure to many kinds of concerns, including parenting stress, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, jealousy, and infidelity. He also has experience supporting people connected to the armed forces and those with intellectual disability needs.
People who choose him can expect plainspoken guidance and steady support. He frames therapy as a step-by-step process and partners with clients to find realistic ways to feel better and cope with life’s challenges.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Louis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear goals and problem-solving. One common approach involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep anxiety and stress going, then trying simple, repeatable exercises to shift those patterns. This helps people who are stuck in worry, low mood, or unhelpful routines. Another approach centers on stabilizing responses after trauma or loss by teaching grounding and coping strategies that reduce overwhelm and support daily functioning. These methods suit issues like trauma, grief, sleep problems, and intense emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to a person's situation and preferences, and then suggests techniques to try. Clients and the therapist check what helps and adjust the plan as they go, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls let people talk face to face from wherever they are, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick, flexible exchanges and written reminders of strategies discussed in sessions. Together, these formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and practice skills between conversations.
