Aikaterini Kouliaki, LMHC, LPC

Aikaterini Kouliaki is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people cope with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and problems with sleep and intimacy. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and postpartum depression. Sessions are offered in English and Greek.

She keeps therapy straightforward and focused on practical changes. Clients talk through current problems, spot unhelpful thinking, and try small behavior changes between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe thoughts and build routine skills.

Her work is collaborative and respectful. She centers each person’s strengths and goals and adapts the pace to what feels manageable. Sessions may use an attachment-informed lens to look at how close relationships shape feelings and reactions.

Over seven years she has worked with adults facing life transitions, loss, and substance-related concerns. Her background as an MA LMHC, NJ LPC means she holds a master’s degree and state licensure to provide mental health counseling.

In practice she blends client-centered listening with goal-focused tools. That mix aims to reduce overwhelming moments and help people regain control over daily routines. She encourages simple experiments that can change how someone feels in real situations.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Aikaterini uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. CBT is practical and focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how close relationships influence feelings and reactions; it can help when relationship patterns or intimacy issues keep repeating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and current situation rather than prescribing a single path. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are, phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging support quick check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into work, family routines, or times of transition while using the therapeutic tools her approach provides.
