Iamina Stoian, LMHC

Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relationship struggles. She brings a direct, practical style to sessions and focuses on tools that make daily life easier. Iamina speaks English and Romanian and works from New York as an LMHC with ten years of counseling experience.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central tool, because it maps thoughts to feelings and behavior in ways people can change. She also draws on client-centered conversations and mindfulness strategies to match each person's needs. Sessions usually aim for clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Iamina keeps work straightforward. She listens for what is getting in the way, then helps people test small changes. That can mean practicing new ways to talk to a partner, trying a breathing or grounding exercise, or experimenting with shifts in daily routine.

Her background includes a range of emotional and relationship concerns, and she supports people dealing with grief, burnout, family stress, ADHD challenges, and mood shifts including bipolar disorder. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when those come up in therapy.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that blends problem-solving with personal storytelling. Iamina adapts methods as progress unfolds and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

How Iamina uses talk therapy online

Client-centered therapy focuses on a respectful, listening approach that helps people feel heard and understood while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy adds short exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations so clients can respond rather than react.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Iamina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adjusts the mix of CBT, client-centered listening, and mindfulness based on what helps the client make progress.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and try therapeutic tools between meetings.
