About Aikaterini
Aikaterini Kouliaki helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or major life changes. She identifies practical ways to manage sleep problems, addictions, parenting pressure, grief, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. Aikaterini works in English and Greek and practices as an MA LMHC and a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC.
Her sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment and emotionally focused ideas to look at how patterns in relationships affect feelings and behavior. Over seven years of practice have included work with people facing postpartum depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, phobias, and drug or alcohol addiction. She aims to combine practical coping tools with conversations about meaning and values when that fits a person's needs.
In the room she keeps language simple and concrete. Clients can expect clear suggestions, coping strategies for day-to-day problems, and space to talk through emotions. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps that make daily life easier.
She encourages people to bring specific examples from their life to sessions. That makes treatment more relevant and faster to apply between meetings. Aikaterini balances problem-solving with attention to feelings so people can both feel better and function better.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connection patterns shape current relationships; online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers on the individual's experience and priorities, offering listening and reflection so people feel heard while they decide what changes to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which translates well to homework and short exercises done between sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then suggest methods to try. That plan can change over time as the therapist and client check what’s working and adjust together.
Online formats offer practical flexibility: video calls let people talk face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, live chat fits a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates or reminders. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, keep continuity during life changes, and practice skills in real time between meetings.
