About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of experience. She helps adults who are juggling stress at home, relationship strain, parenting pressures, anxiety, depression, trauma, and changes like separation or blended family adjustment. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian.
Iamina focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered listening and narrative work to clarify how past experiences shape current patterns.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens first, then suggests small experiments or different ways of framing problems. That can mean short behavioral tasks, trying a new communication strategy with a partner, or using mindfulness to reduce overwhelm during a busy day.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns that include ADHD, bipolar-related challenges, caregiver stress, and issues around attachment and abandonment. Iamina also supports people dealing with anger, body image worries, codependency, and the strain of balancing career and family responsibilities.
In sessions she pays attention to what is most urgent for the person in front of her. Clients leave with clear next steps they can try between appointments. Her aim is to make therapy feel practical and readable so that small changes add up over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarify their priorities, which is useful when sorting family and relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions, then tests small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress that affects daily life.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit those goals. That could mean leaning more on CBT for behavior change, adding mindfulness for moment-to-moment coping, or using narrative work to reframe past events. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust as they go.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match a person’s needs, and she will discuss what will work best during the initial matching questionnaire and first session.
