About Binoy

Binoy Thannikkodan Kuriakose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and anger. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, parenting strain, and life changes.

Binoy uses straightforward talk and active listening to help people name what they are feeling. He encourages clients to describe specific situations where anger or frustration shows up. Sessions focus on practical steps to respond differently and to reduce the intensity of outbursts over time.

His approach draws on several evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He also uses mindfulness practices and, when appropriate, EMDR techniques for processing traumatic memories. These methods are explained in simple terms during early sessions so clients can choose what fits them.

Binoy pays attention to patterns that drive anger - for example avoidance, impulsivity, control struggles, or unresolved shame. He helps people practice skills in-session and try them between meetings. Progress is measured in concrete behavior changes, like fewer heated exchanges or calmer reactions in stressful situations.

Sessions are offered in English, Malayalam, and Tamil. He works from Texas and does not take international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. It emphasizes values and small, practical actions that bring behavior in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with concrete behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. EMDR is a method sometimes used to process traumatic memories that keep replaying and driving strong emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will review your goals, explain options, and try methods together to see what fits. Early sessions are used to agree on practical steps and to practice techniques that can be used between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use guided mindfulness exercises, structured CBT worksheets, and EMDR-style processing in a paced, repeatable way that fits into everyday life.
