About Aikaterini

Aikaterini Kouliaki is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction-related problems. She speaks English and Greek and draws on seven years of clinical experience to support practical change.

Her style is direct and strengths-focused. Sessions aim to identify patterns that get in the way and build workable strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and attachment-informed ideas to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Sessions are grounded in compassion and respect for each person’s pace.

Clients often come for help with sleep problems, postpartum depression, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and managing mood conditions such as bipolar or ADHD-related challenges. Aikaterini also works with people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, phobias, and intimacy-related worries. She blends practical techniques with attention to underlying relationship dynamics.

Her background includes seven years of hands-on counseling in community and clinical settings. The MA LMHC and NJ LPC credentials are part of her professional profile. She focuses on helping people find clearer ways to cope, rest more easily, and regain a sense of control over daily life.

To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The therapist’s approach is collaborative, aiming to set manageable goals and track small, steady improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they seek connection and how that affects sleep, stress, and close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and habits that get in the way of rest and daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift emotional responses in relationships, which can reduce anxiety and improve intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a shared process that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people connect from different locations within the same region and continue steady work on sleep, mood, and relationship patterns without rearranging large parts of life.
