About Aikaterini
Aikaterini Kouliaki is an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and a New Jersey LPC with seven years of clinical experience. She practices in New York and speaks English and Greek. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, and struggles with self-esteem and major life changes.
Her approach combines clear, practical methods with attention to emotions and attachment patterns. She lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy among the methods she uses. Sessions focus on naming feelings, spotting repeating patterns, and trying small changes that make daily life easier.
Kouliaki has particular experience supporting people with addiction concerns, drug and alcohol issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, phobias, postpartum depression, grief and loss, and parenting stress. She draws on CBT to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on client-centered work to prioritize each person’s perspective.
She frames therapy as a process of practical problem solving combined with emotional understanding. Meetings typically include talking through recent struggles, learning coping tools, and practicing strategies between sessions. The therapist emphasizes straightforward steps and follow-up tasks to build momentum.

How her approaches come alive in online sessions
Aikaterini uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people put names to strong emotions and see how those feelings shape everyday interactions. EFT can be useful when patterns of hurt or withdrawal are hard to break and when understanding emotional responses helps change how people relate to problems.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early patterns of relating affect current behavior and expectations. That approach helps when recurring relationship dynamics or anxieties feel stuck. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes, which is helpful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood shifts.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is observed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from different locations. Licensed professionals often combine emotional work and practical skills successfully in remote sessions, and she will discuss how to make the format work for scheduling and daily life.
