About Aikaterini

Aikaterini Kouliaki is a bilingual licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, sleep trouble, parenting pressures, and addiction concerns. She practices in New York and offers therapy in English and Greek. Her straightforward style suits parents and adults who need clear tools and steady support.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps to reduce negative thinking and manage strong emotions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other methods, to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build different habits.

Background and approach

She also draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to create a supportive space where people feel heard. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based. Clients set the pace and goals, and she helps them break problems into small, doable changes.

Conversations may include skill practice, problem-solving, and looking at patterns in close relationships. With seven years of experience, she has worked with people dealing with postpartum depression, grief and loss, insomnia, phobias, and substance concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, career stress, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues.

Aikaterini holds MA LMHC 13033 and NJ LPC 37PC00841900 as listed credentials. The work she offers blends structured techniques like CBT with more relational therapies to address both symptoms and how people connect with others.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Aikaterini uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises, practice between meetings, and step-by-step plans to reduce symptoms like anxiety or insomnia.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how close relationships shape reactions and emotional needs. That approach helps when relationship patterns feed stress, intimacy challenges, or parenting difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the focus as needed so the method fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit busy family schedules. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what feels easiest. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while balancing work, childcare, and day-to-day demands.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
