About Louis

Louis Krigger is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. He has 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. He also supports concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem.

Louis approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each client’s needs. Sessions are focused on practical steps and listening closely to what matters most to the person in front of him.

Background and approach

Louis aims to make the process feel manageable and clear, especially for parents who are worried or stretched thin. Over two decades of practice have given him experience with a range of life issues. That background helps him recognize patterns and suggest workable changes.

He also pays attention to how relationships and family life affect daily stress. Louis encourages people to take the first step toward change, and he offers steady support along the way. He frames therapy as a partnership where goals are set together.

The focus is on small, doable steps that add up over time. His approach is meant to be straightforward and humane. Conversations aim to be honest and practical, not overwhelming.

He tailors pace and focus to meet each person where they are.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many clients find benefit from therapies that focus on clear techniques and real-life changes. Cognitive approaches help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and learn new ways to respond to stress and anxiety. These techniques are useful for concerns like worry, low mood, and sleeping problems.

Behavioral strategies address habits and daily routines. They help with issues such as addiction, eating or sleeping difficulties, and anger by breaking problems into small, achievable steps. These methods aim to create steady, measurable change over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a different format feels easier. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
