About Igor
Igor Light is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship worries, self-esteem problems, and depression. He brings a calm, respectful style to sessions and aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is unsure about therapy. He uses straightforward conversation and clear goals in sessions.
He listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people try small, practical changes. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on skills that can be used between meetings.
How Igor works
Igor draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. He adapts methods to the person in front of him rather than following a rigid plan. He pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
He also supports people facing life purpose questions, midlife shifts, and mood concerns. Igor has five years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential in New York. He offers sessions in English and meets with people by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
To start, a short questionnaire helps match goals and then a session is scheduled based on therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with valued life goals. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people repair trust, closeness, and communication where those patterns cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reactions; it is often used for anxiety and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape which strategies are emphasized over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of formats to match daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule work around busy days and different routines.
