About Aileen
Aileen Stotter is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of experience working in clinical settings. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, eating and food-related issues, anger, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She conducts sessions in English and practices from a perspective that centers what each person brings to the work.
Aileen treats each person as the expert on their own story. She helps people identify strengths they already have and build practical habits to manage symptoms. In sessions she uses straightforward tools to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning. That can mean setting small goals, practicing coping skills between meetings, and reviewing what works and what doesn’t.
Her work often focuses on patterns that come from family of origin and current family problems. She helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, control issues, and guilt or shame that get in the way of healthier interactions. She also addresses body image and eating and food-related issues with clear, behavior-focused strategies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to her approach. She uses CBT techniques to target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors linked to panic, mood shifts, obsessions and compulsions, and phobias. Sessions are practical, aimed at creating manageable changes that fit into daily life.
People who choose Aileen can expect direct, task-oriented sessions that emphasize skills practice and real-world application. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How CBT informs online sessions and what to expect
Aileen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a main approach. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood problems, obsessive thoughts, and eating-related concerns, and focuses on exercises and small, practical changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their concerns and goals. That conversation usually happens in the first sessions and can be adjusted as needs change.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online methods. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. Aileen’s CBT-informed sessions will focus on concrete skills, homework between meetings, and regular review of progress to make therapy applicable to everyday routines.
