About Anastasia
Anastasia Maravelias-Kakos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 22 years of professional experience. She brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and focuses on helping people take practical steps toward better days. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to tailor support to each person's needs.
She has worked across independent practice, schools, and community settings. That range gives her practical insight into everyday problems like stress, low mood, and anxiety.
How Anastasia works
She regularly helps people handle grief and life changes, and addresses worries about motivation and confidence. Her work includes support around caregiver strain and communication problems. She also helps people navigate divorce and separation, feelings of isolation, and panic attacks.
Social anxiety and self-love are areas she addresses with clients who want to feel more connected and sure of themselves. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, rational-emotive therapy, and humanistic perspectives. In sessions she uses those tools to identify unhelpful thinking, practice different reactions, and build on each person's strengths.
Conversations are collaborative and focused on practical steps. Anastasia designs plans that fit a person’s life and goals. She encourages small, doable changes and offers steady support during transitions.
The aim is real progress people can notice between sessions.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Her practice draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas that help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; this approach is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and negative self-talk. She also uses rational-emotive methods to challenge rigid beliefs and help build more flexible thinking patterns, which can reduce distress and improve decision making.She incorporates humanistic elements that focus on each person's strengths and values, helping people feel heard and respected while they work toward change. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options with you and adjust the approach based on your goals, preferences, and how you respond to different strategies.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use visual cues for a fuller conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth or visual focus is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing reflections easier to fit into a busy week. These formats help people keep regular contact, try new skills between sessions, and maintain momentum while managing life responsibilities.
