Louis Krigger, LMHC

Louis Krigger is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with 21 years of experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns, including issues like infidelity and jealousy. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

He works with people who face trauma, family strain, parenting challenges, sleeping or eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, and needs related to LGBT identity or veteran and armed forces experience. He says he will tailor conversations and a treatment plan to each person’s specific needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest talk about what is getting in the way of a fuller life.

Louis emphasizes a straightforward, supportive approach. He encourages clients to take small, achievable steps and to build on what already works. The therapist frames progress as a series of practical changes rather than abstract goals.

Over two decades he has supported people through major life transitions and ongoing struggles. His work centers on listening closely, offering clear feedback, and adapting methods to the person in front of him. He describes therapy as a partnership where courage to change is respected and reinforced.

People considering therapy are invited to discuss their immediate concerns and goals. Louis says he will help map out short-term priorities and longer-term plans so clients know what to expect as they move forward.

How evidence-based methods work online and in practice

Louis describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common evidence-based method emphasizes changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression; it teaches concrete tools to manage worry and daily routines. Another approach centers on building emotional awareness and improving communication so people can handle relationship stress, grief, and intimacy concerns with more ease.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That process can include trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it fits each person.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and keep regular contact during transitions. Some formats allow shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions that require less bandwidth, which can help maintain consistency when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can work with clients to pick a rhythm and format that supports steady progress.
