About Binoy

Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose welcomes people looking for practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, relationship strains, and the aftermath of trauma. He emphasizes helping clients take the first step toward change by offering a respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment.

Background and approach

With an approachable style, he supports exploration of intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, and transitions in life. Binoy draws on a range of therapy methods to match the needs of each person, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, mindfulness practices, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories.

He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas and brings 11 years of clinical experience to his work. He speaks English, Malayalam, and Tamil and addresses additional issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, and financial or life-purpose worries.

Binoy aims to collaborate with clients to build actionable coping skills and clearer perspectives as they move toward their goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Available Online

Binoy commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based actions and psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful life directions.

He also uses client-centered principles to create a collaborative environment where the client's perspective guides the goals and pace of therapy. Finding the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than assuming a single path for everyone.

The online format makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and support different communication styles so clients can engage in the way that feels most comfortable.
