Igor encourages people to take small steps and recognizes how hard it can be to start therapy. His approach centers on understanding personal meaning and lived experience.

Background and approach

He draws on Existential Therapy to help people consider values, purpose, and the choices they face. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build practical skills for feeling better day to day. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs.

Igor listens first, then suggests strategies that fit your situation and goals. He pays attention to attachment patterns and communication habits that affect relationships and self-image. People often seek him out for issues like abandonment, loneliness, body image, guilt, and midlife questions.

He offers straightforward tools for managing mood disorders, social anxiety, and coping with life transitions. The work blends exploration of meaning with skill-building exercises. Igor has five years of professional experience and holds an LMHC credential in New York.

Conversations take place in English and can happen via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Online support

Therapy approaches adapted for online care

Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and life purpose. In online sessions this can look like candid conversations about priorities and values, helping people clarify what matters most when facing change or loss.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance of uncomfortable feelings with committed action toward valued goals. It offers simple exercises to notice thoughts and move toward meaningful behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online work can identify patterns in communication and closeness, and then practice different responses that improve relationships and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting tools and pace as work unfolds. Clients and therapist shape the plan together rather than following one fixed method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging suits brief updates or people who prefer typed communication. These options make scheduling easier and let people choose what fits their daily life.
