Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose, LPC

Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose is a licensed mental health professional in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. He holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and has supported people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse.

He focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely. In sessions he works to help individuals feel heard and to explore concerns at a pace that feels manageable.

Binoy recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage, and he affirms clients for taking that first step. His approach emphasizes empathy and respect as a foundation for working through difficult experiences and developing practical ways to cope and move forward.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Access

Binoy often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into his work, a process that helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them and taking steps toward those values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another commonly used approach. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

For clients dealing with traumatic memories, Binoy may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a method that supports processing distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming. EMDR is often used when trauma and abuse are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Binoy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit into busy routines and reach people who might otherwise face barriers to care.
