About Aileen
Aileen Stotter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 11 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, eating issues, anger, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and practices from a clinical perspective that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
She begins sessions by listening to the immediate problem and identifying what is getting in the way of change. Sessions are practical and focused on noticing thoughts, habits, and behaviors that maintain the problem. She helps people try different ways of responding to their feelings and urges, and tracks what works over time.
For eating and body image concerns she approaches problems with direct strategies to change patterns around food and self-evaluation. For anxiety and panic she uses techniques to reduce avoidance and to retrain unhelpful thought patterns. When anger or relationship issues appear, she concentrates on communication habits and on small behavioral shifts that change interactions.
Aileen also works with mood disorders and obsessive or compulsive patterns by setting concrete goals and testing new behaviors between sessions. She emphasizes clear steps people can take between meetings, such as short experiments, thought records, and behavior changes to measure progress.
People who choose her service should expect straightforward, skill-based work aimed at practical improvements. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How CBT-based approaches work in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that keep problems going. In plain terms, this means noticing automatic thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. That approach is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive patterns, and mood problems.For eating and body image concerns, the work centers on changing patterns around food and self-evaluation through repeated behavioral experiments and activity planning. Those steps are concrete and measurable, so progress can be tracked from week to week.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist decide which techniques to keep or change.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or manage appointments around caregiving. Ask about session lengths and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire.
