About Evangelia

Evangelia Kaloudis is a licensed social worker in New York who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other life stresses. She speaks English and Greek and brings ten years of professional experience to conversations about grief, parenting, anger, and self-esteem. She aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and encouraging for someone taking that first step.

Her approach begins with listening. She adapts the conversation and plan to match what each person needs right then.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and rooted in real-life skills, not abstract lectures. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the work. Evangelia uses techniques from several evidence-informed approaches.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person’s own perspective and goals.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and issues related to parenting and family. Additional areas she attends to include adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, and fertility-related stress. Sessions may include short-term problem solving, skill building for emotion regulation, and planning for next steps outside therapy.

She aims to help people leave sessions with clear ideas they can try between meetings.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting concerns

Evangelia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful when parenting roles or life priorities feel unclear. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors, which helps when anxiety, low mood, or anger get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work between visits, and revisit techniques in real time. Licensed professionals can guide skill-building, offer feedback, and help plan next steps no matter which format is chosen.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
