About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports people coping with relationship and family issues, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Stoian uses clear, structured methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques when those approaches fit the concern.
In practical work she helps people break problems into small steps. That might mean tracking thought patterns, testing out a new behavior for a week, or practicing short mindfulness exercises. She emphasizes problem solving and routine changes to reduce relapse risk and support daily functioning.
Her background includes a decade of varied clinical work in New York. Stoian describes an adaptable approach that adjusts to what each person needs. Sessions are conducted in English and Romanian depending on the client’s preference.
To begin, the process involves a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; exact costs vary by location and the subscription selected.
How CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness translate to online sessions
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns and test new behaviors; that typically involves short homework tasks, tracking thoughts, and practical exercises that can be done between sessions. Client-centered methods emphasize listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can lead the agenda during the session. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional noticing.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, daily demands, and what feels most useful. Adjustments are made over time if something isn’t working or more structure is needed.
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 schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some approaches, such as brief CBT exercises or guided mindfulness, fit well into shorter sessions, while planning behavior experiments may require a regular weekly meeting. Confirm which session formats are offered and how they match your needs before scheduling.
