Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try behavioral experiments. Mindfulness strategies help people slow down thought patterns and notice reactions without getting swept up by them. Dr.
Koumarianos brings 11 years of experience to common concerns like self-esteem, career stress, workplace problems, and midlife transitions. He also supports people dealing with compulsive behaviors, process addictions, and social anxiety. He addresses communication problems, anger, and compassion fatigue with clear skills practice and behavioral planning.
He has experience discussing sexuality, including BDSM and kink topics, and assists people navigating immigration-related stress or cultural issues. He also helps people who struggle with dependent personality features, impulsivity, or forgiveness work they want to do. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.
He helps clients set small, achievable steps and tracks progress over time. The tone in sessions is practical, curious, and steady, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and move forward.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. It aims to help people feel heard and to shape the work around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and noticing skills so people can respond differently to stress and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences. If one approach isn’t working well, adjustments are made and specific practices are swapped in to better fit the situation.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for full sessions that need visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, real-time coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills in everyday moments.
