Her experience includes work with trauma and post-traumatic stress and with people facing medical stresses like cancer.

Clients can expect straightforward discussion about goals and options. She pays attention to family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Panic attacks and ADHD-related struggles are also within her areas of focus.

She respects the courage it takes to begin therapy and adapts care to each person’s situation. People who want clear, practical steps and steady support may find this style useful.

How CBT and Practical Talk Work Online

Dr. Koutsouros uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try different behaviors, and reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Her sessions focus on clear, usable strategies. That can mean breaking big problems into small steps, practicing coping skills between meetings, and tracking progress together. For trauma-related stress, she aims to help people reduce reactivity and build steady tools for daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level. Adjustments are expected as work progresses, and she checks in about what is or isn’t helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people appreciate how remote sessions can fit into a busy week, allow concise check-ins around work, or reduce travel time. Talk with her about what will work best for your routine so sessions can be arranged to support ongoing progress.
