About Binoy
Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose is an LPC licensed in Texas with 11 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as parenting and relationship strain. He speaks English, Malayalam, and Tamil and works with adults who want practical ways to manage problems at home.
Binoy uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what’s most pressing. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. He listens for patterns that make problems worse and looks for small changes that can make daily life easier.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among other methods. That means he helps people notice difficult thoughts, test unhelpful behaviors, and commit to actions that match their values. He may also use EMDR and mindfulness techniques when appropriate for trauma or anxiety.
Over 11 years he has supported people facing anger, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. He also works with concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems. The focus is on clear, workable steps rather than abstract theory.
Sessions use a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the standard process is to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and conflicts that keep repeating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by breaking problems into specific, changeable parts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. He will suggest approaches and adjust them based on how the client responds, so choosing a method is collaborative rather than fixed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets in virtual sessions, and EMDR elements can sometimes be adapted for remote work when appropriate. Ask about the specific session types offered when you sign up.
