About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Romanian and brings ten years of experience to her work. Iamina focuses on practical steps people can take in day-to-day life to feel steadier and more capable.
She takes a straightforward, collaborative style. Sessions usually begin with what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens, names patterns that get in the way, and helps set small, doable goals. Her approach draws on client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques to change thoughts and behaviors that feed worry or low mood.
Iamina also uses mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people slow down and make sense of difficult experiences. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. She adapts these methods to each person rather than relying on one fixed recipe.
Many people seek her support for relationship and family concerns, burnout or compassion fatigue, and challenges like ADHD, bipolar mood symptoms, or caregiver stress. She also helps people work through attachment and abandonment issues, body image concerns, and the emotional impact of domestic violence or separation.
Her sessions emphasize clear problem solving, validating emotion, and building routines that reduce relapse risk. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. The booking process uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the person clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives step-by-step tools to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That means starting with a plan and adjusting it together as progress or obstacles appear.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting appointments into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when life is unpredictable. Online work can make it easier to do short check-ins, follow-up homework, or mindfulness practices between sessions. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to see what will fit your routine and goals.
