About Iamina

Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and caretaking burnout. She also lists codependency among her areas of focus and helps people who keep putting others first or struggle to set boundaries.

Her sessions use practical, goal-focused work. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns. She also brings client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to slow down strong reactions and build clearer choices.

Stoian adapts her approach to what someone needs in the moment. She combines narrative therapy ideas to help people make sense of their life stories and motivational interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck. In session she listens, asks specific questions, and suggests small experiments to try between meetings.

People who come to her for relationship or family stress can expect concrete tools for communication and boundary-setting. Those managing trauma or grief are offered steady pacing and ways to track feelings so coping doesn’t become overwhelming. For career or ADHD concerns she helps translate goals into manageable steps and daily routines.

She conducts work in English and Romanian and practices in New York. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Before booking, users should confirm the current session formats and scheduling options.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and supporting a person's own goals. Online, this means the therapist prioritizes the client's concerns and adapts pacing and questions to each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift them. In an online setting CBT often includes concrete homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavioral experiments that can be done between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods to try based on the client's goals, preferences, and how they respond. That collaboration may mean mixing CBT with narrative ideas or adding mindfulness practices when emotional regulation feels important.

The original biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also support continuity when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises and homework so they work well in remote sessions.
