About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with ten years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family matters, and changes in life circumstances. She also supports people facing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian.
Iamina uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She often starts by listening to the problem and then helps people identify small changes to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered methods are common parts of her approach. She adjusts the work to what a person needs and prefers.
When family-of-origin patterns are in play, she looks at how roles and expectations from childhood still affect day-to-day choices. She helps clients name those patterns and practice different ways of responding. That can include working on communication, setting boundaries, or coping with feelings like abandonment or emptiness.
Her background includes work with a range of populations and presenting concerns. In sessions she uses problem-solving steps and narrative strategies to help people see their situation differently and try new behaviors. Practical homework and short-term skills are balanced with longer conversations about patterns and meaning.
She aims to make sessions clear and pragmatic. People who want to explore attachment, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, or codependency will find a focus on concrete steps and steady progress.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on letting the client lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and clarifies. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting thought and behavior patterns, testing them, and practicing new responses to reduce distress and improve coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration shapes session focus and what kinds of exercises or homework are suggested.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is making therapy fit into everyday life. Confirm the current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Remote work can make it easier to schedule appointments during a workday, do shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. The therapist will talk through which style and session plan best suit each person's routine and needs.
