Iamina Stoian, LMHC

Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and issues like trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She also supports those coping with life changes, work strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges such as abandonment or attachment concerns.

With ten years of clinical experience, she keeps sessions practical and focused. She listens closely and validates feelings before working with each person to find what helps. Iamina favors straightforward, goal-oriented strategies while staying flexible about methods.

Her work often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered conversation to make space for each person’s perspective, and narrative ideas to help reframe difficult life stories. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing may appear when they fit a client’s goals.

In sessions she pays attention to safety and daily routines, and she uses problem-solving to reduce relapse and stress. People bring concerns that range from career or family conflict to more complex issues like dissociation, domestic violence, or bipolar symptoms, and she helps them break problems into manageable steps.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Iamina asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they feel heard and understood; it helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, and figuring out what a person wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try concrete experiments to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods based on goals, comfort, and what actually helps during early sessions. This is an adaptive process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent commuting. It can also let someone continue care during life transitions and access a therapist who speaks English or Romanian without needing to travel.
