About Iamina
Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports those facing career strain, anger, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. She speaks English and Romanian and brings ten years of counseling experience to her work.
She uses a clear, person-focused style. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in everyday goals.
How Iamina works
Conversations move toward practical steps clients can try between appointments. She listens for patterns like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, or codependency and brings those into the work. Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness strategies, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches.
That mix helps translate big feelings into concrete changes. She adapts methods to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single recipe. People often come for help with transitions, divorce or separation, blended family stress, caregiving burden, dissociation, and body image concerns.
She also supports those coping with loss, domestic violence history, and problems that involve co-morbidity. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase skills for everyday life. Her background includes a decade of practice in New York and a steady focus on listening, validating, and problem solving.
She emphasizes small, measurable shifts and practical coping tools. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities so clients feel heard and in charge of their goals; this helps when the main need is emotional support and clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In online sessions this means setting small experiments and homework between meetings to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that calm the body and mind. These tools are useful for stress, trauma responses, and problems like anger or dissociation because they give quick, repeatable strategies to manage intense moments.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats offer flexibility and convenience. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and work well for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when connections are lighter or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and different schedules.
