About Igor

Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him. Igor listens for patterns in relationships and life themes, then helps people try new ways of responding that fit their goals.

Background and approach

His work blends practical skills with reflective conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are used to address unhelpful thoughts and increase effective action. Attachment-based ideas are brought in when relationship patterns and past bonds shape current struggles.

Igor aims to make therapy easy to follow. He and the client set clear goals and try short, doable steps between sessions. Progress is reviewed often so plans can change when something isn’t helping.

He brings five years of clinical experience in New York as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that suit different routines and needs.

Online session options

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Igor uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas alongside Narrative-informed listening. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current communication and trust. Narrative-informed listening helps people reframe life stories to find new options for moving forward.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Igor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. He checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something doesn’t feel useful, so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is low or for a longer check-in. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, journaling support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
