About Iamina

Iamina Stoian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, anger, and ADHD among other concerns.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical experience, she brings an empathic, analytical presence to the therapy room and tailors care to each person's circumstances. Her practice also addresses issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, bipolar challenges, and career-related stress.

Her work blends evidence-based tools with a client-centered stance, often emphasizing cognitive-behavioral strategies to identify patterns and build practical coping skills. Iamina uses narrative and mindfulness techniques alongside motivational interviewing when appropriate to help clients reframe experiences, increase awareness, and find sustainable ways to change.

She is fluent in English and Romanian and draws on a problem-solving orientation to support clients in reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Clients can expect direct listening, validation of feelings, and collaborative planning that adapts over time.

Iamina describes her approach as flexible - selecting methods that match a person's goals, strengths, and life context rather than applying a single formula to every case.

Bringing evidence-based approaches to online care

Client-centered therapy places the person's goals and lived experience at the center of the work, which helps build a strong therapeutic relationship and ensures treatment aligns with individual values and priorities. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, making it useful for many day-to-day concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist will work with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, preferences, and goals, and will adjust strategies as progress unfolds to maintain a good fit over time.

Online appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend consistently, try different formats, and access therapeutic support from home or elsewhere while working together on practical skills and lasting change.
