About Aikaterini
Aikaterini Kouliaki is a bilingual mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with issues like sleep problems, grief, addiction, postpartum depression, and coping with life changes. She communicates in English and Greek and practices from New York.
Her style is straightforward and strengths-based. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in view.
Background and approach
Aikaterini draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of responding. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behavior. Existential perspectives help when clients face big life questions or transitions.
With seven years of experience, she brings steady clinical exposure to a range of concerns, including drug and alcohol addiction, phobias, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems. Her approach balances problem-solving with an interest in personal meaning. People who choose her often want clear tools plus space to make sense of their situation.
Sessions may include skill practice, gentle reflection, and step-by-step planning. That practical mix is meant to help people feel more capable between meetings.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Aikaterini uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that feed anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviors. CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping.She also brings attachment-based ideas into sessions to look at how past and current relationships shape emotion and trust. This can be useful for people struggling with intimacy-related issues or recurring relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean trying CBT techniques for immediate symptom relief and exploring attachment themes over time.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, homework sharing, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit sessions into busy family and work lives.
