About Louis
Louis Krigger is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 21 years of experience. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, sleep or eating concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
He also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity, anger, jealousy, infidelity, intellectual disability, and veteran or armed forces issues. He approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs. He listens first, then works with clients to set manageable goals and practical steps. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters to the client right now.
Louis adapts the plan as progress is made. He believes small changes add up over time. That might mean brief skills to handle panic, communication strategies for difficult conversations, or ways to rebuild trust after betrayal.
Those who seek his help can expect a collaborative process. He aims to empower people to make choices that fit their life and values. The work is paced to what the client can handle, with room to address setbacks and build on successes.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. The LMHC credential means he is licensed in New York. He frames therapy as practical help for everyday problems, not as a one-size-fits-all formula.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Louis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and straightforward talk. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and stress - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans to manage panic and worry. Another approach centers on improving communication and trust for relationship and intimacy concerns - practicing clear requests, boundary-setting, and ways to repair after conflict. These methods help with everyday problems like sleep disruption, parenting stress, and recovery from betrayal or grief.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping things practical and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, ongoing coping tips, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily routines while keeping care consistent.
