About Igor

Igor Light is a New York licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He focuses on practical steps a person can use day to day. Igor speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and clear.

He uses Attachment-based ideas to understand patterns people repeat in relationships and how those patterns affect mood and trust.

Background and approach

He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in the client’s own goals rather than a fixed agenda. Igor blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when people need help managing strong emotions or increasing psychological flexibility.

He invites clients to notice values and to practice small actions that align with those values between sessions. The work often includes simple exercises and reflection rather than dense theory. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone.

Igor tailors the pace and methods to each person’s needs and comfort. He emphasizes compassion while also offering clear behavioral tools to try outside sessions. With five years of experience as an LMHC in New York, Igor believes change is gradual and practical.

He encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to take one small step and see how it feels.

Online support

How Attachment and Skills-Based Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people connect and respond to others. Online sessions can help people notice repeating relationship habits and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It works well for anxiety, mood concerns, and reshaping routines that get in the way of goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Igor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That can mean starting with attachment-focused conversations and then adding CBT or ACT exercises, or mixing in DBT skills for intense emotions. The choice is guided by the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or low-bandwidth situation. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework review, or when writing out thoughts helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
