About Aileen

Aileen Stotter is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, eating and body-image concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood issues. She also addresses patterns like codependency, people-pleasing, control struggles, and family of origin problems.

Her sessions focus on practical steps rather than abstract talk. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Conversations are aimed at building clearer choices, small behavior changes, and new patterns for handling conflict or impulses.

Clients who come for help with anger, panic, or mood swings can expect work that links feelings, thoughts, and actions. For eating and body-image concerns she pays attention to both behavior and the beliefs that drive it. For anyone coping with life changes or family tension, she helps untangle old roles and find more manageable ways to respond.

Aileen emphasizes collaboration. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and uses that knowledge to set goals together. Sessions tend to be direct, goal-focused, and aimed at practical tools people can use between meetings.

She offers services in English from New York. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How sessions work

How CBT is used in online sessions and what to expect

CBT focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going. In practice this means tracking situations that trigger stress or anxiety, noticing the thoughts that follow, and trying different responses to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood issues, and eating-related behaviors.

Sessions also look at behavior change tied to relationship patterns such as codependency and people-pleasing. Work can include role practice, setting small boundaries, and testing new ways of communicating. These steps help people see which changes feel doable in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps set clear, short-term goals and adjust strategies as progress is reviewed.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises to remote sessions so clients can practice tools between meetings and bring those results back to the next appointment.
