About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship strain. She uses clear, practical steps to make therapy feel approachable. Sessions are carried out in English and Romanian.
Iamina aims to create an accepting, steady space where people can talk about what matters most. She listens closely, validates feelings, and works with each person to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Her manner is empathic and goal-focused rather than overly technical. She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach helps when anxiety, mood changes, ADHD, or low self-esteem get in the way of daily life.
She also draws on client-centered and narrative techniques to center each person’s story and strengths. Across ten years of practice she has supported people with trauma, grief, relationship problems, and career stress. Iamina notices patterns that make life harder and helps build simple routines and problem-solving skills to change them.
She adjusts methods to match what an individual needs in the moment. Therapy sessions can include skill practice, short-term planning, and discussion of past events when useful. For people juggling work, family, or caregiving, she focuses on practical steps that fit a busy life.
The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and steadier daily functioning.
Approach and Online Options for Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building on their strengths to help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and the stress of life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help calm racing thoughts and increase focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the client's needs. Progress is reviewed and the plan is adjusted so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit a short break at work, live chat is good for check-ins, and messaging supports brief ongoing contact or skill practice. These options help people balance therapy with busy schedules and varying day-to-day needs.
