About Iamina

Iamina Stoian is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, relationship strain, caregiving stress, career pressures, and ADHD. She speaks English and Romanian and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people identify small changes they can try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool she uses to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques when those fit a person’s needs.

Iamina aims for clear, doable goals rather than abstract plans. Sessions often include problem-solving, tracking patterns, and practicing brief skills between meetings. She pays attention to how life events, family dynamics, and past losses can shape current feelings and choices.

She has worked with people facing trauma, grief, relationship conflict, and the fallout of major life changes. That background informs how she supports people coping with intense emotions like anger, emptiness, or compassion fatigue. She also helps individuals navigate blended family issues, attachment concerns, and communication challenges.

People can expect a collaborative style that adapts as progress happens. The work is steady and focused on improving day-to-day functioning. To begin, users should follow the site’s start steps to match and schedule according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist follows each person’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and build steadier responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that suit their goals and preferences. That might mean emphasizing CBT skills for managing anxiety, using mindfulness for emotional regulation, or relying on client-centered talk to work through attachment and loss issues.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, help with shorter check-ins during a workday, or reduce travel time. The focus is on scheduling that works for daily routines and using approaches that translate to practical steps people can practice between meetings.
