About Anastasia
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 22 years of experience, Anastasia Maravelias-Kakos focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She has worked in private practice, schools, and community settings. Sessions are conversational and interactive, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day difficulties and adjust after loss or change.
She uses cognitive-behavioral and rational-emotive techniques along with humanistic ideas to structure sessions. That means conversations will look at thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that keep problems going, and then test small changes to see what helps. Humanistic elements bring attention to personal values and strengths during the work.
Her style is client-centered and interactive. Clients can expect direct discussion, practical strategies, and time to reflect. The therapist helps people clarify goals and try specific steps between sessions when those steps are useful.
Anastasia has spent two decades across different settings, which shapes how she adapts to each person's situation. She often draws on concrete exercises used in schools and community programs as well as the longer-term focus common in private practice.
Sessions can address caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation issues, isolation or loneliness, panic attacks, self-love, and social anxiety or phobia. People who want practical tools paired with reflective talk may find this approach fits their needs.

How her therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. That approach is practical and often involves clear tools and exercises to try between sessions. She also uses rational-emotive ideas to challenge rigid beliefs and replace them with more balanced thinking.Alongside those methods she draws on humanistic principles to focus on the person’s values and strengths. That part of the work creates space to reflect on what matters most and to set goals that fit the client’s life. Deciding which approach to use happens together, based on the client’s problems, goals, and preferences.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will suggest approaches, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients can expect guidance on practical steps, brief homework when useful, and regular check-ins about progress.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists use worksheets, thought records, and real-time behavioral coaching without requiring an in-person visit.
