About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and changes in life. She also supports concerns around relationships, family dynamics, ADHD, and career questions.
She uses a straightforward style in sessions. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set small, concrete goals. Many conversations focus on practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
Background and approach
She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to break down problems into manageable pieces. Her approach adapts to each person. Iamina draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the client.
She also brings in mindfulness exercises and narrative techniques when they fit the client's goals and preferences. Over a decade of work in mental health shapes her perspective. Her experience includes supporting people through trauma, grief, relationship strain, and work-related stress.
She pays attention to how past experiences like attachment wounds or abandonment shape present behavior. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Iamina frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients decide the pace.
She encourages people to try different strategies and notice what helps in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities back so people can better understand their own goals and decide the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It breaks problems into steps and teaches practical skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust over time. This collaborative process makes it easier to pick strategies that feel useful and realistic for daily life.
Online formats give flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when connection and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, processing between sessions, or when writing things out feels easier. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
