About Igor
Igor Light is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He focuses on building confidence, improving self-esteem, and supporting those coping with life changes. Igor uses a direct and respectful style that aims to make talking about hard things easier.

Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on small steps that add up over time. Igor draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. He also pays attention to attachment themes and how past relationships shape current responses.
This helps when abandonment, trust, or intimacy feel stuck or painful. With five years of experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, Igor blends talk therapy with skill-building. He aims to tailor the pace to each person and to keep goals clear and concrete.
The tone is supportive and straightforward. People who reach out can expect an emphasis on practical coping skills and honest conversation. Igor works in English and focuses on helping individuals find clearer ways forward with mood, social anxiety, and life transitions.
How Igor’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with specific exercises and practical tools, good for anxiety, mood disorders, and social fears.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Igor will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether more acceptance-focused work, cognitive tools, or attachment-focused conversation will be emphasized, and he adjusts the plan as progress is seen.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and daily life.
