Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose

Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people deal with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, family conflict, and anger. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful. He encourages people to reach out when they feel ready to begin.

In sessions he builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. He focuses on understanding what causes distress in daily life and on practical ways to respond differently. Conversations are intended to be straightforward and focused on what matters to the client right now.

His clinical background spans 11 years of professional practice. That experience includes supporting people through life changes, depression, intimacy and relationship concerns, parenting strain, and caregiver stress. He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, impulsivity, isolation, and grief-related feelings like guilt and shame.

Binoy uses several commonly practiced approaches in his work. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, and EMDR for trauma-related material. He adapts these methods to the individual and the situation rather than following a single rigid plan.

Sessions are provided in English and also in Malayalam and Tamil for speakers of those languages. He works from a practical perspective, helping people set manageable steps and practice small changes that can reduce distress over time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Binoy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small actions that align with their values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and problems like anger that come from getting stuck in painful thoughts.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test out new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills people can try between sessions to reduce symptoms and handle triggers more effectively.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Binoy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adapts strategies over time based on what helps and what feels workable in daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT and CBT exercises online as they do in person, and those methods can be practiced between sessions to support steady progress.
