Iamina Stoian, LMHC

Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and midlife transitions. She supports those coping with relationship strain, career pressure, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer routines to improve day-to-day functioning.

She draws on about 10 years of clinical experience and uses an adaptable approach that matches each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy plays a central role because it helps people change stressful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered listening, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques as needed.

In sessions she listens first and then helps set small, realistic goals. Conversations are grounded and direct, with an emphasis on problem solving and changes that fit everyday life. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they come up and addresses issues like body image, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.

She has worked across a range of challenges including dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and co-morbid mental health issues. The aim is to help people regain steady routines and better control over reactions to hard events. Progress is tracked through practical tasks and ongoing check-ins.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients set goals that feel right for them, which is useful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people change unhelpful thinking and build new routines, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and midlife transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. This can support people dealing with stress, anger, or trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and as life circumstances change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue regular work on coping skills and behavior change even when schedules are tight.
