About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, career stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and take place online via video, phone, chat, or text.
With ten years of clinical experience and a practice based in New York, she combines practical tools with close listening.
Background and approach
She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful patterns, client-centered methods to reflect what matters to each person, and mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment coping skills. She adapts methods to each person's situation rather than following a single formula. In session she focuses on concrete steps people can try between meetings.
That might mean setting small behavior goals, trying short mindfulness exercises, or reworking thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood. She pays attention to how attachment and past losses show up in current relationships and daily life. People contact her about life transitions, grief, family and blended-family stress, communication and commitment issues, and patterns like codependency or avoidance.
She also addresses safety and trauma sequelae, dissociation, body image concerns, and the practical strains of caregiving. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves reflective listening and helping people name their priorities so sessions follow what matters most. This approach can help with relationship concerns, attachment wounds, and feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress, and it includes homework tasks that fit well into online sessions.
Mindfulness therapy trains short practices to ground attention in the present moment. Those skills are useful for managing panic, anger, dissociation, and the ups and downs of mood conditions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try methods that seem like a good fit. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option when movement or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
