Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose , LPC

Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. He has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, struggles with addictions, family conflict, and the effects of trauma and abuse, offering steady support through those challenges. Drawing on a range of evidence-informed methods, he helps clients explore thoughts and feelings while developing practical skills for everyday life.

In sessions he aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where difficult emotions can be named and understood. He encourages clients to take meaningful steps toward values-driven goals and to build coping strategies that fit their daily routines. Beginning therapy often takes courage - he acknowledges that step and meets each person with respect and patience as they move forward.

Binoy communicates in English, Malayalam, and Tamil, and integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to address a variety of concerns. His practice emphasizes collaboration, practical problem solving, and attention to the whole person as they work toward greater resilience and balance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that reflect personal values - a useful approach for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which can support work on depression, anxiety, and relationship or parenting challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity, making it a common option for trauma and abuse recovery.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Binoy collaborates with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the approach remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, access support from different locations within Texas, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver the same core therapeutic work in a way that fits each client.
