About Aileen

Aileen Stotter is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who blends practical strategies with collaborative support to help people manage life’s challenges.

Background and approach

With 11 years of experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective coping skills. Her work focuses on common and complex concerns including stress, anxiety, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, and issues related to relationships and family dynamics.

She also addresses eating and body image struggles, anger and impulse control, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and a range of anxiety-related conditions like panic and phobias. Aileen emphasizes her clients’ strengths and treats them as experts in their own stories, partnering to set realistic goals and build practical tools for change.

She offers sessions in English and provides several remote formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Integrating CBT with flexible online care

Licensed professionals often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this approach is especially useful for anxiety, panic, mood challenges, and patterns related to stress or compulsive behaviors. It focuses on practical exercises, skill-building, and short-term strategies that can lead to measurable shifts in daily functioning.

Though CBT is a primary tool, finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques or combine methods as needed to fit the client’s situation and pace.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives. These options allow consistent contact, more flexibility in scheduling, and different ways to engage with therapeutic work between sessions, helping people access care in ways that suit their routines and communication styles.
