    About Aikaterini

    Aikaterini Kouliaki is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New York. She speaks English and Greek and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, grief, or life changes. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and concerns about addiction or postpartum depression.

    Her approach centers on practical conversations and clear goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and build manageable routines. Sessions focus on small steps that fit into daily life rather than abstract ideas.

    With seven years of clinical experience, she brings a calm, supportive presence and emphasizes strengths and personal values. She aims to help people find motivation and direction when change feels hard. Therapy often includes skill-building, mood tracking, and planning for concrete behavior changes.

    People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, gentle challenge, and collaborative planning. She frames difficulties like stress, grief, and sleep problems as issues that can be addressed with practical strategies and steady effort. The work is paced by each person's needs and goals.

    For those ready to begin, the process includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that follows the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

  2. How her approaches translate to online care

    Aikaterini often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. This approach involves gentle questioning, reflecting a person’s own goals, and building small steps toward those goals. It can be useful for overcoming avoidance and for addiction-related concerns.

    She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT in practice includes mood tracking, behavior plans, and testing small changes to see what works. Client-centered work means sessions follow what the person finds most pressing and move at their pace.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will help figure out what fits your needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time in a collaborative way.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut down commute time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises like mood tracking and brief behavioral experiments so they work well in remote sessions.
